Dr. Joseph M'Benga and Christopher Pike in “Unfinished Business”

Are you going to turn me in?

Christopher Pike

Are you worried I will?

That depends on who I'm talking to right now. My friend or my captain?

Christopher Pike

Look, I understand why you didn't tell me certain things. I just wish I had known some of them sooner. Officially, there was no mission to Kenfori. So, nothing happened there. I don't have any report to file.

But if you did, hypothetically, what would it say?

Christopher Pike

That I had a knife to my throat, and you told a story to save my life. That's what happened, wouldn't you agree?

I would.

Christopher Pike

You're not a monster, Joseph. Just a man. And my friend.
