Qapla' all... I am back! It's time to tackle STD Season 5, Episode 2, Over Twin Moons. Five years of Alex Kurtzman's Star Trek has taken its toll... My body is weak, my brain has atrophied... But we've made it this far... Just a little longer.
On Saru's last mission as Captain Burnham's Number One, the team ventures to a seemingly abandoned planet to hunt for what might be the greatest treasure in the galaxy.
From Memory Alpha:
As the USS Discovery undergoes repairs in drydock following the avalanche on Q'mau, Captain Michael Burnham reviews a hologram of the Federation's first record of the Progenitors.
"Captain's personal log, stardate 866274.3. For millennia, philosophers and scientists have wrestled with the same big questions. What is our purpose? Why are we here? What does it all mean? I always thought I knew. The mission. That's my purpose. That's why I'm here. That was always enough. But, lately, it's not, and I don't know why. We're on a search for one of the greatest powers ever known. The very thing that created us. I can't help but wonder once we find it, once I understand it, is that where I'll find the answers? Is that how things make sense again?"
Saru enters and notes he'd been reviewing the same Progenitor hologram himself. The radiative properties of the sands of Q’mau have prolonged repairs and the delay has further added to Moll and L'ak's head start in the race for the Progenitor technology. Saru reports repairs are nearly finished, Discovery will be ready to jump within the hour. Burnham is relieved and jokes that further delays would have made her wonder if Saru was stalling his last day on board. She has yet to find anyone succeed Saru, who is pleased that to have one last mission to say goodbye. He then informs Burnham of one more official matter; one from the President's office…
In President Laira Rillak's office, Burnham and Captain Rayner are questioned about their actions on Q’mau. Burnham in particular is asked whether she agree..
