00:00:07You
00:00:36In all my time, there's one thing I've learned to be true.
00:00:44If you want to serve the galaxy, make your bed.
00:00:51Here's another.
00:00:53Get the class on time.
00:00:56Doesn't seem like much.
00:00:57Just tiny acts of service to your fellow cadets.
00:01:01A single stitch.
00:01:04And another.
00:01:05And another.
00:01:06Until you've woven something greater than you ever imagined.
00:01:10A tapestry.
00:01:13The tapestry that is Starfleet.
00:01:15That is history.
00:01:17And now the moment you've all been waiting for.
00:01:22Mutagiocellus Arneopolis.
00:01:24Self-replicating mucus.
00:01:26A jar of goo.
00:01:29Yes.
00:01:29And I'm...
00:01:30I heard we get a wrangle-horned tapeworms next semester.
00:01:35Please never stand next to me again.
00:01:36Each of you will care for a single specimen for five days.
00:01:41Easy, right?
00:01:43Wrong.
00:01:44Mucus is romantic.
00:01:46It likes to bond.
00:01:47If you get even a tiny amount on your skin, it will replicate until you're covered head to toe.
00:01:56And you will have to move in together and spend holidays with its parents.
00:02:05And we will have to help you break up by freezing it with a neutralizing agent.
00:02:13That gets you a C.
00:02:15A C?
00:02:16How do we fail?
00:02:17If it kills you.
00:02:19Welcome to xenobiology.
00:02:22When the burn hit, the Federation had to leave Earth.
00:02:26Starfleet Academy was abandoned.
00:02:27Our tapestry, our history, irretrievably torn.
00:02:32Say what you will about this present time, but it has one advantage over every other.
00:02:37It's ours.
00:02:39Comparative xenomatology was dropped from the curriculum 100 years ago,
00:02:43when Starfleet's emphasis shifted from understanding those with whom we share a universe
00:02:48to defending ourselves against them.
00:02:50Sir, is there a creation myth about a wise-ass space rat
00:02:54who put a state-of-the-art starship in danger just because he needed to call his mummy?
00:02:57Or what about an overcompensating fish boy who's sad and lonely because he's a teeny tiny fish dick?
00:03:01Cadets, many cultures expel their males into the wild at your stage of hormonal development
00:03:08to mature on their own or die.
00:03:12We are not one of them.
00:03:14Currently.
00:03:15You are the first officer corps class to return to this campus in over 100 years.
00:03:22One we share with our venerable neighbors at the War College,
00:03:27an institution that's turned out the officers that kept Starfleet strong during the burn.
00:03:33We thank them for their continued service and look forward to working together.
00:03:39If you thought combat training was only for the War College, think again.
00:03:44Sound off.
00:03:45Duty, honour, service.
00:03:47Louder.
00:03:49Duty, honour, service.
00:03:51Pitiful.
00:03:53Practical engagement is not about self-defense,
00:03:56though you will learn self-defense.
00:03:58It's not about weapons.
00:04:00No.
00:04:00This class is about me.
00:04:03My father taught me that victory is life.
00:04:07My mother taught me that today is a good day to die.
00:04:10One day, we'll all stare death in the face as she stares back.
00:04:15Yes!
00:04:16Death has eyes!
00:04:18And none of my cadets will confront her like gutless cowards.
00:04:22I will rip out my own stomach and choke on it
00:04:25before even one of you lets fear win the day.
00:04:27Do you hear me?
00:04:30You will not live in fear!
00:04:33Yes!
00:04:34Yes!
00:04:35Yes!
00:04:35Yes!
00:04:35Yes!
00:04:36Yes!
00:04:36I can always spot the brother.
00:04:44Democracy doesn't live in a place.
00:04:46It lives in continuous action.
00:04:50So go out and seek.
00:04:52Explore.
00:04:53Innovate.
00:04:55Boldly go where no one has gone before.
00:04:58it is my great honor to welcome you all back to Starfleet Academy.
00:07:44No offense, Jayden.
00:07:46He's a little dry.
00:07:50We got our own assignments.
00:07:52Never had a room.
00:07:53We share them.
00:07:54Like with others?
00:07:56That's the definition of...
00:07:57Roomies.
00:07:58Fascism?
00:07:59Nope.
00:07:59Also, with the roommate, how does anyone...
00:08:01Hook up?
00:08:02You get me.
00:08:03Try not to antagonize your new roommate for at least 10 minutes.
00:08:07See you in class.
00:08:08Bye.
00:08:08See you in style of cartography.
00:08:10I'll save you, see.
00:08:13So, I never had the chance to thank you for helping me get rid of all those killer space pirates?
00:08:20Gotta give it to you.
00:08:22Sort of brave.
00:08:22Right?
00:08:23Heroically saving everyone?
00:08:24After dropping us in mortal peril.
00:08:26Wonder if I'll live till midterms.
00:08:30This is me.
00:08:33Me too.
00:08:35Wait.
00:08:36Are we...
00:08:37Roomies?
00:08:39No.
00:08:40See ya.
00:08:41Also, a tip.
00:08:42Don't hook up with anyone for like the first six months.
00:08:45That's how you find out who's a total psycho.
00:08:49Bye-bye.
00:08:51I'll save your advice.
00:09:01Oh.
00:09:02I don't know.
00:09:03Guys.
00:09:04Guys.
00:09:04Absolutely not.
00:09:05This is a no.
00:09:05No way.
00:09:06Guys.
00:09:07No.
00:09:08Hit you.
00:09:08The biolabs are almost there.
00:09:11But whatever supplier we're using for our samples of xenomucosa has no imagination.
00:09:17None.
00:09:18The Arneopolis strain is hardy, I'll conceive, but just some vanilla.
00:09:23It might as well be pudding.
00:09:25Now, the chemagora strain I requested has vigor.
00:09:29Fire.
00:09:30Those kids can learn a lot from mucus like that.
00:09:32Do you need to answer those?
00:09:34Oh, uh, the federation is getting ready to rebuild its new seat of government.
00:09:39Oh, Namibia's vying for it?
00:09:41Yes.
00:09:41Singapore.
00:09:42What about Paris?
00:09:43Where it's always been.
00:09:45It's in the mix.
00:09:45Do you have the requisition?
00:09:47Oh.
00:09:49Thank you, Chancellor.
00:09:50Vanilla mucus is not my jam.
00:09:52Doctor, I would do almost anything to end this conversation.
00:09:55Your wish is my command, Chancellor.
00:09:57Thanks so much.
00:09:57For now, have a delightful day.
00:10:01Two more things.
00:10:02The Betazoid delegation will arrive shortly.
00:10:04We sent a fleet of Federation shuttles as a gesture of goodwill.
00:10:08The Special Assembly, the Diplomatic Council will convene, and we're hosting a banquet in
00:10:13their honor tomorrow night.
00:10:14Carl.
00:10:15Stanley.
00:10:16Lorenda.
00:10:17You knew the Betazoids when they were part of the Federation.
00:10:21What are the chances they'll rejoin?
00:10:24Every loss hurt after the burn, but losing the Betazoids really tipped the scale, so
00:10:29I'm just grateful they're showing up.
00:10:31Indeed.
00:10:32What was the second thing?
00:10:34Oh, what?
00:10:35Dependency?
00:10:35They regulate everything else.
00:10:37Right there, they regulate that.
00:10:38You go out of your bed like an actual rat.
00:10:40And are you ever going to make your bed?
00:10:41Why would I?
00:10:42Seriously.
00:10:42It's like rooming with a farm animal.
00:10:44By the way, who has a banana allergy?
00:10:45Is that even a thing?
00:10:46Yes, Dick.
00:10:47It is a thing.
00:10:50Cadets, where are you right now?
00:10:52It's not a trick question.
00:10:54In your office.
00:10:56Huh?
00:10:56We're cadets of Starfleet Academy serving aboard the Starship Athena, Chancellor.
00:11:00Correct.
00:11:00If you forget that again, I'll jettison the both of you out the airlock.
00:11:04Mayor, stand in detention or leave.
00:11:07And what do you want?
00:11:08We can't room in the same room.
00:11:12Why?
00:11:13It's an intensely personal medical issue.
00:11:15Really?
00:11:15Yeah.
00:11:16Severe allergies to him yelling,
00:11:17OYSTE!
00:11:17Every time he shoots a barred up sock into his drawer.
00:11:19Not my fault he grew up without socks.
00:11:21Or aim.
00:11:21Or balls.
00:11:22Good news, guys.
00:11:23You do have something in common.
00:11:24You're both funny.
00:11:25Aren't they funny?
00:11:27Is this a multiple choice?
00:11:29Request an eye.
00:11:30You out.
00:11:31You stay.
00:11:32The logs say you hacked the exits on...
00:11:36Three separate occasions in the last 12 hours.
00:11:40Told me to find hobbies.
00:11:41You have too much spare time, cadet?
00:11:43You need more menial labor?
00:11:45No.
00:11:47No chancellor?
00:11:50You chose this place, Mayor.
00:11:52You made me a promise, chancellor.
00:11:54We'll find your mother.
00:11:56She's still alive.
00:11:57And when we do, I'll do everything I can to make the Federation see that your mother's sentence
00:12:02was extreme, even in a harsher time.
00:12:04But there doesn't seem to be a Goja 5 in any Starfleet database.
00:12:09No planets, ships, moon, zero.
00:12:12It doesn't seem to exist.
00:12:13So what?
00:12:14Someone's not in the database?
00:12:15They're not worth the effort?
00:12:17Even if they make their bed?
00:12:19The effort is what Starfleet is.
00:12:21And somewhere, you know that.
00:12:23Or you would have already busted out of here.
00:12:25Instead of just trying to.
00:12:26I'm still here because there's a system or two I haven't hacked yet.
00:12:29What?
00:12:29Nothing.
00:12:30Cadet Master?
00:12:31Mayor, have you considered that Noose Brocco was lying to mess with your head?
00:12:36Should I trust you to stay?
00:12:38Should I trust you to do what you said you were going to do?
00:12:40Yeah.
00:12:43Am I dismissed?
00:12:51He needs his ass kicked.
00:12:53Ah, he's been getting his ass kicked his whole life.
00:12:57I think I'm going to treat him like somebody who actually does what they say they're going
00:13:00to do and see if that fritzes his motherboard.
00:13:03The Betazoids are bringing their youth delegation.
00:13:06They're the ones that pressured their government to enter negotiations with us.
00:13:13Activism.
00:13:14Love it.
00:13:16Specialist Trebs, return to Science Lab 7.
00:13:18Your Talaxian fur ply has come out of hibernation.
00:13:21Nala.
00:13:22Commander Kellrick, your counterpart at the War College.
00:13:24Pleasure, Commander.
00:13:26Oh, uh, regulation footwear is a requirement.
00:13:30Yeah, I heard that.
00:13:31I just don't like wearing them if I don't have to.
00:13:34In all seriousness, it's unsafe.
00:13:36You could...
00:13:36Step my toe, get a splinter.
00:13:38I signed the waivers.
00:13:39Bare feet pick up electrons that reduce inflammation, up white blood cells and cytokines, and stimulate
00:13:45brain activity.
00:13:46Plus, sometimes I just need to let the little piggies out to pasture.
00:13:49You know what I mean?
00:13:50I can confidently say I do not.
00:13:54I've been informed you've asked to host the Betazoid negotiation so you can bring children.
00:13:58Clearly, I've, uh, misheard.
00:14:00Ah, but you did not.
00:14:02It's an opportunity to teach our cadets conflict resolution firsthand and for them to learn from
00:14:08their Betazette peers that advocating for social change matters.
00:14:12How romantic.
00:14:13Your cynicism's pretty adorable.
00:14:15If you want to talk about the good old days, I have more of them than you.
00:14:19We had to abandon Betazette after the burn.
00:14:23They went through hell with the Venari role.
00:14:25Uh, no, no, no.
00:14:26With the marauders.
00:14:28Um, so they put up that psionic wall around their planetary system and stayed behind it
00:14:33for over a hundred years.
00:14:34Nobody gets in or out.
00:14:36We can't even communicate behind that wall.
00:14:38And then other systems joined this big swath of cutoff space.
00:14:42But now their kids are saying, let's rejoin the Federation because they don't want to live
00:14:47like that anymore.
00:14:48Emran Sadal is humoring them.
00:14:50He's an isolationist who campaigned his presidency on keeping that wall up.
00:14:54He's also a Betazoid, an empath who can read our feelings, Cranky.
00:14:58Is his preemptive dismissal wise?
00:15:01Admiral Vance, priority transmission from FHQ.
00:15:05Walk on me.
00:15:05Should Betazette rejoin?
00:15:08Twenty, thirty other worlds rejoin with them.
00:15:10And hundreds of new species loyal to the Federation to help us defend it, not to mention an extra
00:15:1690 light years of safe trade and passage in a time when we're still rebuilding.
00:15:21I don't dispute how much we need the Betazoid's back.
00:15:25This is our one slim chance to bolster our standing in the galaxy in a real way.
00:15:31Great!
00:15:32So what's the problem?
00:15:33These negotiations are far too important to allow children to attend.
00:15:37Children are our ambassadors to now, Commander.
00:15:41These children have seen and experienced things far beyond their years.
00:15:45Okay, Captain, let's game it up.
00:15:50If Sadal goes back to his planet and says,
00:15:53I tried, but they couldn't meet our needs,
00:15:56then he'll serve out his senior term and it'll take that long before we ever get another chance.
00:16:02But if he does value young voices, a young demographic,
00:16:06we need to let him know that we do too.
00:16:08Let's do it.
00:16:10Friends, in front of the Betazoid's, we're one big happy family, huh?
00:16:18The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line.
00:16:24The laws of physics hate me because I should not be here.
00:16:31You, girl with the face begging to be singled out,
00:16:34why do physics hate me?
00:16:36Because you're not supposed to be here.
00:16:38Thumbs up for listening.
00:16:40Entropy, time's arrow.
00:16:41Hey, you're absorbing all the energy in the room.
00:16:44For real, you're like a sponge.
00:16:46Can you chill?
00:16:46Guys, I was born in 2215 and jumped almost 1,000 years into the future.
00:16:52You can go with the poetry for five minutes.
00:16:58Whoop, red alert.
00:16:59New building, still working out the kinks.
00:17:02Just give me a second here.
00:17:03Goja 5 is not a recognized location.
00:17:09Goja 5 is not a recognized location.
00:17:12Hi.
00:17:13What's on Goja 5?
00:17:15You bored?
00:17:16Class not riveting enough for you?
00:17:19I'm not bored.
00:17:21Just like, what else?
00:17:24Excellent question.
00:17:26I guess Goja 5 is sexier than entropy?
00:17:31More of a turn-on than time itself?
00:17:34Enlighten us, please.
00:17:38I can save everyone's time by rerouting the power junction
00:17:41so that it has a dedicated power supply,
00:17:43which is how it should have been wired in the first place.
00:17:45Also, not to be rude,
00:17:46but there's nothing you can teach me
00:17:47that I don't already know about temporal mechanics.
00:17:49And I'm actually trying to do some real shit,
00:17:51so let me get to it.
00:17:52Huh, some real shit.
00:17:53Okay.
00:17:54Well, please, stand at the front of the class.
00:17:57Are you kidding?
00:17:58Zero percent, cadet.
00:18:00Introduce yourself to everyone.
00:18:03And sadly, we don't offer a course in accredited sulking.
00:18:07Plant your feet and tell us who you are.
00:18:10Caleb Meir.
00:18:11Sorry, I'm not a bat.
00:18:13You have to speak at a human volume.
00:18:15Caleb Meir.
00:18:17I didn't ask your name.
00:18:19I asked who you are.
00:18:20What do you stand for?
00:18:22Have you ever seen a ghost?
00:18:24Made a mixed tape?
00:18:25What is the worst birthday present you ever got?
00:18:30Arrested.
00:18:30Awesome.
00:18:31You can never have enough misdemeanors in quantum physics,
00:18:35if you ask me.
00:18:36Okay, here's an easy one.
00:18:38The name of this cadet.
00:18:44Being a cadet in Starfleet Academy means being open to the people around you.
00:18:52And that connection is where time and space really live.
00:18:57I don't need connection.
00:18:58Yeah, yeah, you're a genius who owns all the suffering.
00:19:01I only know two things, kid.
00:19:03Number one, old age and treachery always triumph over youth and a smart mouth.
00:19:09Oscar Wilde.
00:19:10Love that dude.
00:19:12Fun fact, when he died, they had to put glass over his tombstone because people kept trying
00:19:17to make out with him.
00:19:17Number two, a smart mouth isn't worth a damn without wisdom.
00:19:23But what do I know?
00:19:25I'm old and boring.
00:19:28Attention all cadets.
00:19:30Third instruction period will begin in eight minutes.
00:19:32You have seven minutes to get your next caffeine fix.
00:19:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:37What the hell?
00:19:38What the hell?
00:19:38Oh, sorry.
00:19:40Biohazardous material detected.
00:19:48Mucus neutralized.
00:19:50Have a nice day.
00:19:54I love this school.
00:20:01No, I'm out of here.
00:20:03I am done.
00:20:07Cadet Mares, you're outside your permitted bounds.
00:20:11Negotiations begin in eight minutes.
00:20:13Quick, best every coffee order ever ordered.
00:20:15Trip.
00:20:15In every caffeinated planet.
00:20:17Organically fine.
00:20:18Single origin trip.
00:20:18In every quadrant.
00:20:19Lost in the Fibonacci sequence.
00:20:20Zero one one.
00:20:21Double special.
00:20:22Backwards from 10,946.
00:20:24Triple decaf, long shot, half and half latte.
00:20:25Double half cap, macchiato with cinnamon.
00:20:27Americana with coconut water.
00:20:28Americana with coconut milk.
00:20:35Where are you going?
00:20:44Why are you climbing the fence?
00:20:47Fenceonomics class?
00:20:49Yeah, that's not a thing.
00:20:51Well, could be.
00:20:52There's a lot of classes here.
00:20:54Why is your jacket covered in snot?
00:21:01Because I'm clearly thriving.
00:21:04Hey, um, did you, did you kill it?
00:21:11Overloaded this process and buffers?
00:21:13Please don't tell anyone.
00:21:20You're trying to leave, but you're not sure.
00:21:24You're kind of regretting it?
00:21:28You think you're being a big, stupid idiot.
00:21:32Wow.
00:21:33It's a lot of conflict.
00:21:37No.
00:21:39No conflict.
00:21:40You're literally on the fence.
00:21:45Great.
00:21:52I escaped into therapy.
00:22:09Can I just have a meltdown in peace?
00:22:23I should go.
00:22:27Hey, wait, what's your name?
00:22:31Where are you going?
00:22:33Uh, I think I asked you that first.
00:22:36What do you mean you asked me?
00:22:37Whoa, guys, what the hell?
00:22:40Why are you out of bounds, Caleb Mir?
00:22:42With my friend, look, she's walking away.
00:22:44Look, look, look, there's a boy, look!
00:22:47Please rise to welcome President Emran Sadal and the Beta Z Youth Delegation to Starfleet Academy.
00:23:12Mr. President, welcome.
00:23:14Everyone, please, sit.
00:23:25Friends, welcome.
00:23:27On behalf of the Federation, we are humbly aware that we failed you in the aftermath of the burn.
00:23:34Our resources were stretched very thin.
00:23:37We have deep admiration for how you kept your planetary system whole.
00:23:41Now the Federation is not whole without Beta Zed.
00:23:51Beta Zed appreciates the Federation's accurate assessment of its failures.
00:23:56As I read your lips, Admiral, your eyes are already making the next request.
00:24:02You are about to ask us to lower our wall.
00:24:04I am.
00:24:07And in return, we offer our partnership and our protection.
00:24:11Protection for Beta Zed would require 12 battle-ready starships to remain within five light-years of our planet at
00:24:17all times.
00:24:19Six seats on the Federation Security Council.
00:24:22And the power to veto any potential new Federation member without consensus.
00:24:30The Federation is a democracy, Mr. President.
00:24:33Veto without consensus.
00:24:36Strips us of our core identity.
00:24:38Your identity isn't our concern, Admiral.
00:24:43Easy, easy.
00:24:46Is this a prison?
00:25:01Mr. President, you've brought your youth delegation, your future, out from behind the wall for the first time, as I
00:25:09understand.
00:25:10Our future sits here for the first time in a hundred years.
00:25:15Progress is the acceptance of identity, not the negation of it.
00:25:22That is an abstraction.
00:25:24Until someone makes it real.
00:25:26For Beta Zed, real is the spilt blood of our elders and children at the hands of the Vanari Raal.
00:25:33If you can't provide us with what we need, this will be a very short negotiation.
00:25:40President Zedal, we view your passion as a great gift.
00:25:44Please allow me a short window to discuss with the Federation the terms you propose.
00:25:49Shall we regroup after a short hiatus?
00:25:55Nothing like a good plenary session to make you hungry.
00:25:58Refreshments in the Kirk Pavilion during the hiatus.
00:26:15Admiral, my daughter and son would enjoy a tour of your campuses while we pause.
00:26:20Mr. President, we're happy to find suitable guides.
00:26:24Examples of the excellence we strive for in our cadets.
00:26:28Ahem.
00:26:32Uh, well, I...
00:26:35Him.
00:26:37Huh?
00:26:40Fifty hours off my menial labor.
00:26:43No.
00:26:46Sixty.
00:26:47And this couch is ugly.
00:26:48You should give it to me for my room.
00:26:50It's a chaise.
00:26:51Hmm.
00:26:53Off, knucklehead.
00:26:55Ten.
00:26:57I'll think about it.
00:27:00And I'll need you to fire the temporal mechanics teacher.
00:27:12That's not an apple.
00:27:13It's a Berulian fire fruit.
00:27:15Why?
00:27:15I burned off whatever nerve endings I had like 300 years ago.
00:27:22This isn't a game.
00:27:23Tarima Sadal is a leader in the very influential Betasor youth movement.
00:27:28She needs to come back with a genuine understanding of what this place is.
00:27:31Not what you think it is.
00:27:33So don't show her the busted replicator.
00:27:36Huh?
00:27:36My soup was freezing.
00:27:38Gazpacho.
00:27:39It's served like that.
00:27:40Huh.
00:27:41Well, I serve like this.
00:27:46I'll do it.
00:27:49If you give me access to the Stellar Cartography Lab.
00:27:52One hour.
00:27:53No illegal hacking.
00:27:55And if I don't find Goja 5, I'll trust you to do the looking.
00:28:04Dismissed.
00:28:05You, you can't dismiss yourself.
00:28:09But I did, though.
00:28:11Caleb, people will live and die because of what happens today.
00:28:20Cool.
00:28:22Love it here.
00:28:24My blue heaven.
00:28:28My blue heaven.
00:28:48Attention all cadets in the Turner wing.
00:28:51If you need an afternoon pick-me-up, visit the newly reopened Replicafé for a complimentary espresso drink.
00:28:57We're also thrilled to announce that we now serve Racta-Gino.
00:29:00Fup-la.
00:29:03So?
00:29:04This is the Turner wing.
00:29:07Hmm.
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:09Turner.
00:29:09Uh, yeah.
00:29:10Uh-huh.
00:29:11Turner must have been flush.
00:29:13This wing is shiny.
00:29:14Yeah, hard, though.
00:29:15He was grunt.
00:29:16Oh.
00:29:16Oh, yeah.
00:29:17Man of the people.
00:29:17Oh.
00:29:18Me and potatoes.
00:29:19Tough if you got out of line, but...
00:29:21But on a battlefield, he's the one you want.
00:29:23Covering your back.
00:29:23Actually, he was a disaster on the battlefield.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:26No sense of direction.
00:29:27High-fived all the superior officers.
00:29:29I heard he put pips on his dog and left him in charge for us.
00:29:32I did.
00:29:32Yeah, I heard that, too.
00:29:34And that he, uh, made everyone learn Welsh.
00:29:37And he didn't even speak Welsh, so, you know, he couldn't understand anybody.
00:29:40I guess he just felt so inadequate that his parents decided to donate a space station just so he could
00:29:45get a haul.
00:29:45Yeah.
00:29:55So, you've never been anywhere outside of Betasette's wall?
00:29:58Uh, no.
00:29:59Never.
00:30:00Why?
00:30:01A lot of us don't want to live behind it anymore.
00:30:03Oh.
00:30:04But at the same time, it's my home.
00:30:07Thanks.
00:30:08My people, you know?
00:30:11Uh, yeah.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:12Why were you trying to leave?
00:30:17Uh, you never told me what you were doing when he found me.
00:30:22Humpback whales.
00:30:24I heard they were migrating, but they were no show.
00:30:29Sometimes it's just good to see something really big, like, you know, a live thing that's big that just doesn't
00:30:36really care about you.
00:30:38I mean, let's remember that whatever you're worried about, you just do not matter to this whale.
00:30:48It's freeing, you know?
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:55But no one ever goes, oh, that whale's lost.
00:31:00You got the whole ocean to swim in.
00:31:03Are you a whale, or a thing that gets lost in this scenario?
00:31:09Uh, let you know when I figure it out.
00:31:15This is why I picked you.
00:31:17What?
00:31:17You're the only person here not excreting Starfleet pride out of every orifice.
00:31:24I want to thank you for the compliment, but I also want to ask you to never say excreting an
00:31:28orifice to me again.
00:31:32Okay, look, this is going to be embarrassing for you, but I think you have something on your tooth.
00:31:38Wait, what?
00:31:38Oh my god, what is it?
00:31:40I don't know.
00:31:40Is it a piece of food?
00:31:41It's not a piece of food.
00:31:42A piece of gum?
00:31:43It's not a piece of gum.
00:31:44Uh, gem?
00:31:48Representing the sacred eye of Naxia,
00:31:50ritually bestowed upon the first daughter of the first house when she reaches moonflow and becomes guardian of the holy
00:31:55mantle of Betazedet.
00:31:57Hmm?
00:31:57Hmm, I mean, I wouldn't know.
00:31:59Yes.
00:32:01See, cultural exchange.
00:32:03We're learning so much about each other.
00:32:07Listen.
00:32:09Okay.
00:32:11I've got to do a thing.
00:32:13Hmm, a thing sounds illegal.
00:32:15I'm looking for a planet.
00:32:17A planet I can't access.
00:32:19No one can access.
00:32:20Why?
00:32:22Left my keys there.
00:32:26All right, so this is our stellar cartography lab.
00:32:30One of Turner's favorites.
00:32:32Wow.
00:32:34Computer, reduce safety filters.
00:32:37Pull up Goja 5 and enhance.
00:32:38Beginning scan of Federation maps.
00:32:42Scanning.
00:32:45Scanning.
00:32:49Scanning.
00:32:54Goja 5.
00:32:55No such location found.
00:32:56Hmm.
00:32:59Someone was on that planet.
00:33:03Someone you care about.
00:33:06Can't hide anything from you, huh?
00:33:08Let's make a deal.
00:33:10You trust me.
00:33:12Let me behind the curtain a little.
00:33:15I'll trust you.
00:33:16I'll trust you.
00:33:18Okay.
00:33:21Oh, you mean like right now?
00:33:23The trust thing happens now?
00:33:28Accessing Beta Z governmental star charts.
00:33:36What did you just do?
00:33:39Try your scan now.
00:33:47Computer.
00:33:54Show me Goja 5.
00:33:56Goja 5 located.
00:34:05Why isn't it in Starfleet's database?
00:34:08It probably formed post-burn.
00:34:10Behind our psionic barrier.
00:34:12Oh.
00:34:14Oh.
00:34:15Oh.
00:34:17Goja 5 has something to do with why you're trying to escape.
00:34:20Caleb.
00:34:21I need to understand this place.
00:34:26Why does it feel like you're a prisoner here?
00:34:29Why does it feel like you are too?
00:34:32There's a whole universe outside your wall.
00:34:37Ask me about it.
00:34:40I've seen things on my many travels.
00:34:43What are you, like an old prospector?
00:34:45Okay, come on.
00:34:45You try to blow my mind then.
00:34:47Beta Z has naked weddings.
00:34:49That sounds awkward for everybody.
00:34:51All cadets.
00:34:53Negotiations will now resume in the Sato Atrium.
00:34:56We're prepared to offer you four starships,
00:34:58three seats on the Security Council,
00:35:00and meaningful input into new members.
00:35:04Somewhere in the galaxy,
00:35:06the Vanari Rawl just celebrated.
00:35:08Last month,
00:35:10two massive raids attempted to breach the wall.
00:35:13We could have been reduced to ash in moments.
00:35:17Perhaps because Beta Z
00:35:18is falling behind all other planets
00:35:20in technological advancements?
00:35:22Without external access,
00:35:24your technology will be virtually obsolete
00:35:26within a decade.
00:35:28Forget a decade.
00:35:29Who knows when the next burn hits?
00:35:31You're asking me to take chances on people
00:35:34I haven't even met yet.
00:35:36I'm asking you to take a chance on them.
00:35:45Let's retire for the night.
00:35:52Well, that wasn't great.
00:35:54I should go.
00:35:55I need to see my father.
00:35:56Wait.
00:35:58Uh,
00:36:00you want to see a thing?
00:36:04This one might cheer us both out.
00:36:18I can't sleep in this place.
00:36:20And so I wander around at night and...
00:36:25found this.
00:36:30Lady Torema of Beta Zed,
00:36:31may I introduce you
00:36:34to the humpback whale of Earth.
00:37:20she's pregnant.
00:37:24She's pregnant.
00:37:44The galaxy is paradise.
00:37:49You get to live in it.
00:37:51You can, too.
00:37:58I have...
00:37:59I have...
00:38:00responsibilities.
00:38:03To your father?
00:38:04To Beta Zed.
00:38:12Thank you for this.
00:38:15So much.
00:38:21I kind of want to let it all out and scream.
00:38:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:31Torema.
00:38:33We've been looking everywhere for you.
00:38:35Let everyone know we've located the president's daughter.
00:38:37I expected friction here,
00:38:39but not reckless disrespect.
00:38:42I cannot apologize enough.
00:38:45Let's go.
00:38:59Okay, okay, not great.
00:39:00I know.
00:39:01I know what you're going to say,
00:39:01but listen,
00:39:02Goji 5 is real.
00:39:03It's behind the wall.
00:39:04I don't know how I'm on that too, but she...
00:39:05This is not about you.
00:39:07I don't know how I'm on that too, but she...
00:39:12I don't know how I'm on that too, but she...
00:39:45I don't know.
00:39:46It's behind the wall.
00:39:59M-hmm.
00:40:09Am I an optimist or a masochist?
00:40:14You haven't murdered the kid yet, so that's it still.
00:40:17Still time.
00:40:34You are gone.
00:40:37Mm-hmm.
00:40:38Huh?
00:40:39Ooh.
00:40:41Hey, what?
00:40:43Come again, come again, come again, come again, come again, come again, come again, come again.
00:40:49Mr. President, I trust your daughter's visit to the War College went well today?
00:40:53It was certainly less eventful than last night.
00:40:57You've made a commendable start here.
00:40:59Despite our differences, I don't envy the task ahead of you.
00:41:04Many people, many opinions.
00:41:06Speaking of which, we're about to break ground on our new seat of government in its old home of Paris.
00:41:12Ah, but more things stay the same.
00:41:15Would you agree progress is impossible without change?
00:41:22I believe that most people who say they want progress don't really want to change, which
00:41:29often makes both impossible.
00:41:32Touché.
00:41:33I'll say it.
00:41:34That dude's judgy as hell, and I don't care if he can sense that I think that.
00:41:38One-on-one.
00:41:39Their best, our best.
00:41:41To the death.
00:41:43Just quicker sometimes.
00:41:44What is wrong with you?
00:41:47Seriously, what is wrong with you?
00:41:49My season.
00:41:51Can I talk to you for a sec?
00:41:52Yeah, what's wrong?
00:41:53People keep telling me to chill and that I'm a lot and that I give unpaid dating coach energy,
00:41:57and I don't think it's a compliment.
00:42:00Maybe I don't fit here.
00:42:02I woke up at 4 a.m. to run while memorizing the Vulcan alphabet backwards.
00:42:07We fit here.
00:42:08And how long are we this evening, ladies?
00:42:11To be honest, I'm actually a bit depressed.
00:42:12No, let's go.
00:42:13Okay, bye.
00:42:15Chancellor Ake, I question why you cling so fiercely to the idea of returning the Federation
00:42:20to what it was, given your history and told you yourself left 15 years ago.
00:42:27If Starfleet was willing to acknowledge a mistake and correct it, then Starfleet is a
00:42:32living thing, capable of growth and change.
00:42:36I believe in this future.
00:42:37As a Betazoid, I would hope that you would sense our good intentions and share that empathy.
00:43:00See you later.
00:43:11I'll be right back.
00:43:17Hey, little sister.
00:43:22I'll have to see Chaos Boy.
00:43:24I think he's Chaos Boy.
00:43:26I think he's Surprise Boy.
00:43:28Surprise Boy's good.
00:43:29He smiles a lot.
00:43:31He smiles a lot at you.
00:43:32We feel safe with you.
00:43:35Go get him.
00:43:37Go get him.
00:43:38Shall we?
00:43:41Get off!
00:43:43Get off!
00:44:10And how was the most disciplined day of your life to earn the war college?
00:44:13I think my dad's actually starting to warm to this place. There are upsides to discipline.
00:44:19Yeah, so is the one who had to scream.
00:44:25Sorry if I got you in trouble.
00:44:27Sorry if I got you in trouble.
00:44:32Can I ask you a question? What is that on your neck?
00:44:41Uh, it's a neuroinhibitor.
00:44:44It cuts off any spike of psilocyanin. It's the chemical that gives us our empathic abilities.
00:44:53You're the only one who has one?
00:44:59I feel things more than other Betazoids.
00:45:04Hmm.
00:45:09The normal's boring anyway.
00:45:18If I lose control, I can hurt people.
00:45:21Hmm.
00:45:25It doesn't scare me.
00:45:34Your turn.
00:45:44Why is it so hard for you to just be honest and direct?
00:45:57Because I spent a lot of time just surviving.
00:46:05Now, there are all these rules.
00:46:10My whole life's been rules.
00:46:14Helps me feel safe.
00:46:17My mom made me feel that way.
00:46:22She got taken away.
00:46:26She's why I'm looking for Goja 5.
00:46:29She might be there, and I haven't seen her since I was six, so I really need-
00:46:32Oh, wait, wait.
00:46:37That's why you care about Betazed lowering its wall?
00:46:41What?
00:46:41No.
00:46:42What?
00:46:42Um, why didn't you just tell me?
00:46:44I mean, I didn't keep anything from you.
00:46:46Because I didn't realize that my traumatic childhood was part of the chore.
00:46:54At least I was honest and upfront.
00:46:56Were you just using me this whole time?
00:46:59When we were together, I thought it was because you liked me, not because you were trying to manipulate me.
00:47:05It was.
00:47:06It was because I liked you.
00:47:07Why didn't you just tell me?
00:47:09Because I knew you for five minutes.
00:47:13I've been searching for her for 15 years.
00:47:17I slept in dumpsters, almost frozen, got the shit kicked out of me more times than I can count.
00:47:23I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't-
00:47:25No.
00:47:28You know what?
00:47:29Go back to your guards, and your valets, and all the things that keep you safe in your safe little
00:47:35box.
00:47:35Okay.
00:47:38You're welcome.
00:47:40I know that the people are young.
00:47:46You are my age.
00:47:47It is still alive.
00:47:51You have the great family.
00:47:52It is still alive.
00:47:54You know that your espíritus is alive.
00:48:00Somewhere in my life.
00:48:03Hello, the 상us.
00:48:07You're referring to Cadet Mir. Oh, thank you so much. Those allegations were
00:48:13never subject to judicial review or due process and occurred outside our
00:48:17jurisdiction, so he's not a criminal here. Yet.
00:48:29Academy admission traditionally includes a six-week preparatory program, followed
00:48:34by a rigorous entrance exam and intense psychological scrutiny. Was Mir exempt
00:48:40from these? He passed the exam in the 98th percentile while sitting in the back of
00:48:47the shuttle. The traditional paths to Starfleet disappeared for many of these
00:48:52kids, sir. The ones who got here found their own way. I find that admirable. On
00:48:58Beta Zed, we maintain stringent boundaries around our children. Why are you willing
00:49:03to risk so much for a single cadet? Because he's exceptional. All the more so for
00:49:09living an unprotected life. We won't exclude him for that. I certainly won't. I lived in
00:49:16the Jannaran sanctuary and swam in the Opal Sea. Beta Zed was paradise. Some of the
00:49:22bravest, kindest people I've ever met. It seems to me, sir, that you're allowing your
00:49:27walls to define you now.
00:49:33It's one thing for you to tell me who my ancestors were. Another to demand we look past all that
00:49:39has happened and expect us not to have changed.
00:49:45We came here hoping for actions, but received only empty words. The negotiations are over.
00:49:53together. We will leave in the morning. Yep. He came to say no.
00:50:09What is it doing?
00:50:12What is it doing?
00:50:15What is it doing?
00:50:30Yeah?
00:50:30Yeah?
00:50:34Uh, hi?
00:50:38Smells really bad in here.
00:50:40Yeah, Darren.
00:50:42Suffers from gland blockage.
00:50:43See, you still haven't made your bed.
00:50:46Never had a bed before.
00:50:51You want me to apologize again?
00:50:53Caleb, I've been searching for you a long time.
00:50:57And then I found you.
00:51:01I really needed that little kid to be okay.
00:51:07But you're not him anymore.
00:51:09And I have to let him go.
00:51:12If you leave and the Tarothans find you
00:51:16because you stole from them, I can't help.
00:51:20So, I won't lull you in.
00:51:23But if you stay,
00:51:26maybe we could build something...
00:51:30different.
00:51:32But I don't know about it.
00:51:38You know, when your mom was at the rehabilitation camp,
00:51:43she spent all her time studying physics.
00:51:47They say she had a remarkable mind.
00:51:51Guess you'd come by it, honestly.
00:51:58Imagine if she'd gone to school.
00:52:05Anyway.
00:52:10No, in physics...
00:52:14There's always something you can build.
00:52:20You're a genius.
00:52:22Attention cadets.
00:52:23The Betazoid delegation is preparing for immediate departure.
00:52:26to accommodate.
00:52:28Who will postpone intro to shuttle maintenance
00:52:30until 1100 hours.
00:52:32Caleb?
00:52:33Can I talk to you for a minute?
00:52:43Quickly.
00:52:46I'm sorry.
00:52:47I'm sorry.
00:52:48I'm so sorry.
00:52:51The Federation.
00:52:54They're the villain of my story, too.
00:53:00They took my mom.
00:53:03I should've told you,
00:53:04because then we could've had a real conversation.
00:53:06Instead,
00:53:07I got scared you'd tell your dad to walk,
00:53:10and I'd never get to find her behind your wall.
00:53:17We could've bonded
00:53:19over our mutual terror of trusting people.
00:53:24I screwed it up.
00:53:30What do you want, Caleb?
00:53:32What do you want, Caleb?
00:53:32Don't forget about what I want.
00:53:34I saw you with that whale.
00:53:37You want a bigger world.
00:53:40You looked around this place,
00:53:41and everything that you were seeing and hearing
00:53:44was beautiful.
00:53:45Right?
00:53:50So please,
00:53:52get your dad to go back to the table one more time.
00:53:56At least then,
00:53:58you can go home knowing you gave your people
00:54:00every last chance.
00:54:07If you won't do it for you,
00:54:09for the love of God,
00:54:12do it for Turner.
00:54:23Last night, Mr. President, we discussed tradition,
00:54:27and I fancied myself a bit of a renegade,
00:54:31which is not as true as I would like.
00:54:33I'm more of a traditionalist than I was willing to admit,
00:54:36and it blinded me from seeing what can be.
00:54:40What if, by reexamining the past,
00:54:43we become something entirely new?
00:54:47Should Betazed rejoin,
00:54:49the Federation will build its new seat of government,
00:54:52not in Paris where it once stood,
00:54:54but on Betazed.
00:54:59You suggested that actions speak louder than words.
00:55:04Should Betazed lower her walls,
00:55:06we will be there,
00:55:08with equal investment in building and protecting
00:55:11a future we both desperately need.
00:55:13कि लिएवाएएएएण
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:22Starfleet Intelligence reached Goja 5 an hour ago.
00:56:26It's a place where people might want to disappear.
00:56:29No Central Authority gangs, mostly.
00:56:31It's pretty rough.
00:56:32But we found an encrypted flight manifest with your mom's name on it.
00:56:38Headed to the Romov sector three months ago.
00:56:43Anisha made it off Goja 5.
00:56:45She's out there somewhere.
00:56:48I've given you access to all the comms channels I can access.
00:56:52If she's sending messages, it'll be on there somewhere.
00:56:58So this is, uh, guilt band-aid?
00:57:02Doesn't matter.
00:57:06Dismissed.
00:57:17Hey, kid.
00:57:38Well, it's been another great day at Starfleet Academy.
00:57:43Reminder to all cadets that Turkey is at 2,200 hours.
00:57:47If you're planning on breaking that, do not.
00:57:51Sleep well.
00:57:53And see you tomorrow, fellow droppers.
00:57:58I go here now, roommate!
00:58:03I'm your third, baby!
00:58:05We're roommates, bro.
00:58:07Starfleet for life.
00:58:07My dad let me stay.
00:58:09Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:58:11Is Tarima here too?
00:58:12No.
00:58:13She chose the war college, bro.
00:58:15What?
00:58:15Why?
00:58:16I don't talk to dudes about my sister, man.
00:58:18Creepy.
00:58:19She asked me to give you this, actually.
00:58:22Okay, look.
00:58:23Okay, kale, cow.
00:58:25Bibo.
00:58:26Stop.
00:58:26Bibo!
00:58:27Stop.
00:58:27I love you, bro.
00:58:28It's just playing.
00:58:28Don't touch me.
00:58:29Okay, we'll get there.
00:58:31Straight back in.
00:58:32Come on.
00:58:32Yeah.
00:58:33You know what?
00:58:33That trophy's pretty tight.
00:58:35Full guy with three legs for that back on Cownia.
00:58:37Did he have any hands?
00:58:38Yeah, he did have hands.
00:58:39It's too big, meaty hands.
00:58:43I think I'm going to take more of a minimalist approach to my space.
00:58:46Yeah, is that some kind of hack for better focus?
00:58:48No, it's more that everything I touch I break.
00:58:50Just obliterate.
00:58:51What about that one?
00:58:53That's my bad.
00:58:54It was my grandmother's.
00:58:55It's very rare, but it's okay.
00:58:57It's kind of wild that you got to see what I'm talking about in real time.
00:59:00It happened.
00:59:00Like, it happened.
00:59:01It's okay.
00:59:02You know, man, all my trophies are mental.
00:59:04You know, I award them myself.
00:59:05Like, good job, Ockham.
00:59:08You got the Wake Up On Time Award today.
00:59:10Or, congrats, Ockham.
00:59:11You ate a nutritious meal.
00:59:12What are you doing?
00:59:13What are you doing?
00:59:15Tuck and fold, okay?
00:59:16Tuck and fold underneath.
00:59:17It's self-love.
00:59:18It's my version of, like, self-love.
00:59:21Here.
00:59:22Tuck.
00:59:23Fold.
00:59:24Bros making bros bets.
00:59:25This is on that line straight.
00:59:26Love to see it.
00:59:28Let's make a fork, guys.
00:59:59Let's make a fork, guys.
01:00:28Let's make a fork, guys.
01:00:33I'll see you next week.
