Vulcans can be such jerks.
[Spock gives Chapel a hug.]
It felt like you needed that. Did I read the moment wrong?
No! It was really nice. It wasn't typical for you.
Is that okay?
Um, how's... feeling going?
It's a lot. I'm still getting used to it. It's not all bad; sometimes, I don't cry in the shower. Kidding! Sorry. I'm fine. I'll be fine.
I'm gonna do what I should've done years ago: I'm gonna teach you about your human side. I'm gonna show you how to lie. With the Captain's help, of course.
Do I have a choice in the matter?
You do not.
Well, it's not just a gas station, Lieutenant. It's right at the edge of the frontier. It unlocks half the quadrant. It'll be the jumping-off point for the next great age of exploration.
Oh, good, I was afraid I'd miss the speech.
Well, I started earlier, but Uhura fell asleep.
[after beaming aboard the Enterprise] Hell of a ship. And they let you work here?
What can I say? Captain Pike asked for the more handsome Kirk brother.
Look, I could tell you some comforting fairy tale, but we both know the truth. Our job puts us up against death more than is fair. And we might not like it, but we do have to face it. And right now, death is winning. It claimed your family, it claimed your friend. It convinced you to forget them, because it's less painful than holding on to their memories. Now you can let death win, or you can fight back. Hold on to them.
[to Uhura] Starfleet can build a new gas station someplace else. One where there isn't anything living in the deuterium. And if there's any blow-back, it's on me. End of the day, that was my call. Okay? [to Kirk] Or we can tell 'em someone's brash influence rubbed off on you.
Always happy to be of service. You know, I was thinking: you discovered a completely new form of life. They might give you a medal.
[showing Pike Boimler's Starfleet badge] Mr. Spock ran an analysis of his delta. It's not just a badge. It's also a communicator. You just press right here. [Communicator chirps]
But flipping it open's the best part.
I like ours better, too.
I guess you're pretty used to seeing aliens in the future?
Well, yeah, but... this? Right now? This... this is the golden age of exploration. And you guys get to actually live it. I mean,... I'm jealous.
Run me through it again.
Respectfully, sir, there is nothing to run through. Given a longer time frame, I might be able to brute force a solution, but as of now, there is no way to track the Orions.
Uh, I know how to track the Orions.
Didn't we talk about that?
Yes, uh, using future knowledge, yes I know I shouldn't, but um, what if I could use it, and you guys just, um... don't look?
[laughs] That's ridiculous. We can't just not look... can we?
[cut to Boimler making adjustments underneath a bridge console while the entire bridge crew stands with their backs to him]
We sure this is wise?
No, but I'm going with it.
[to Beckett Mariner, having sampled her Orion hurricane] I like you. You're a good bad influence.
I'm a Lanthanite. I've lived for thousands of years. Most heroes I've seen are just pretending half the time. Mm. There's this one guy I remember. He said to me, "I always pretended to be someone I wanted to be until finally I became that someone... or he became me".
When I first arrived, I brought expectations of each of you from the future. And not only was that dangerous, it denied the reality of who you are right now. So I'd like to apologize to you all with a limerick
OR you can just get to the point!
I don't have to do the limerick.
I can't believe all this time, we have been walking over a piece of history. I'm a huge fan of Travis Mayweather. First pilot of the NX-01. My middle school gym was named after him.
Hoshi Sato was on that ship, too. You know she spoke 86 languages? I wrote three papers on her at the Academy.
[realizing] Are we sounding like...?
[referring to Boimler and Mariner] Them?
Indeed. It is exhausting.
Whatever you need, we probably don't have it. But ask anyway. I'll run it up the flagpole and see if it quacks.
The Federation believes everyone deserves a second chance.
What about justice? What about the victims? Doesn't everyone deserve to pay for their actions?
So who decides, hmm? Who pays and who gets redemption? Where's the line?
You're right, Chris. We've known each other for a very long time, see eye to eye on most things. But you haven't lived my life. You have the privilege of believing in what's best in people. Me? I happen to know there are some things in this world that don't deserve forgiveness.
