B:Never a dull moment.
S:Captian, are you alright?
B:Surprisingly, I'm not dead yet.
Focus on our team, I'll try to take out their engines, and we can get back whatever was in that vault.
Warning
Warp bubble stability at 70 percent.
B: Oh, come on.
50 percent.
B: That was fast.
Mr. Saru?
S: We are on our way to get you, Captian.
Warning. Warp failure imminent.
B: This is not what I expected when the night started.
FOUR HOURS EARLIER FEDERATION HQ
A: And all this time, I thought it was a Tellarite term of endearment.
W: Tonic 2161? It's the official cocktail of the Millennium Celebration.
A: Is, uh-I don't get it.
T: 2161. Founding of the Federation. It's been a thousand years.
W: Give or take a few decades, to be specific. Hard to celebrate during the Burn.
A: I get the whole millennium part, but what are the little, tiny, floaty things?
W: Oh, those are stars. Like the Federation logo. Blue with stars, see? And they taste like jumja sticks.
B: Sold.
W: Thanks.
B: Thank you.
It's good to see the Federation back,isn't it? And at peace.
H: It really is.
P: Yeah. I think I'm gonna head back. I'm just tired.
H: Paul, no. You said you wouldn't let it ruin your evening. He just found out they're shuttering the spore drive program.
P: I mean, come on. "Luminary"? What am I supposed to do, walk around, shake hands and pretend I'm happy that pathway drive won out?
H: Yes.
A: I mean, it does mean that Discovery will always be one of a kind. That's pretty cool, right?
P: Think I'd rather that my legacy hadn't been destroyed along with Book's ship. I would have figured out the navigator problem someday, and then we could've rolled it out to the whole fleet. And who knows if I'll ever do anything that meaningful again.
H: You will.
B: It's a new world, Paul, and you will find new purpose. We all will. To change.
Excuse me, Captain. President Rillak is asking if you can come meet some of the dignitaries.
B: Duty calls. Of course.
P: I shouldn't have mentioned Book.
T: It's been months since she's even talked about him. It's...
H: Locking something away and moving on are two very different things.
T: I think there's some other stuff, too, but she's good. Really. She's, um... Um, I-I have to go, but I'll see y'all.
A: So, are we mingling? Or are we going back?
P: "Science Luminary" it is.
