Quotes[]

  • T'Kuvma: Atom by atom... They will coil around us. And take all that we are... There is one way to confront this threat. By reuniting the twenty-four warring houses of our own Empire. We have forgotten the unforgettable. The last to unify our tribes - Kahless. Together under one creed, remain Klingon.

....

  • Michael Burnham: Your chief science officer is worried. Something took a bite out of our relay. Saru thinks it was malicious.

....

  • Philippa Georgiou: We can't lock onto it, and we don't have a shuttle maneuverable enough to navigate the ring.
  • Michael Burnham: I'll go. All I need is a thruster pack.
  • Saru: With the high levels of radiation kicking off those binaries, she'll have twenty minutes until her DNA starts to unravel like noodles.
  • Michael Burnham: Like noodles? I'll be back in nineteen. A flyby.
  • Saru: It seems a waste of the ship's resources. What will be gained?
  • Michael Burnham: You do understand that being afraid of everything means you learn nothing. There's no opportunity to discover, to explore.
  • Saru: And here I thought we were doing a deep-space communication relay audit.
  • Philippa Georgiou: You're both right. Saru, go with her.
  • Michael Burnham: Captain! Best to keep variables to a minimum. I wouldn't want to put my colleague at risk.
  • Philippa Georgiou: And you, Mister Saru, are you equally happy not to be put at risk?
  • Saru: Oh, on any occasion, Captain.
