[CaptVader]

CORNWELL: Eight two allows you to conscript virtually anyone in time of war.

 

[May 20]

LORCA: And so I have.

 

[CaptVader]

CORNWELL: This organization's only convicted mutineer is viewed by many, justifiably or not, as the cause of our conflict with the Klingons. To see her avoiding justice does nothing for general morale.

 

[Orac]

Lorca: When I accepted the command, I was given the fullest latitude to fight this war how I saw fit.

 

[May 20]

CORNWELL: But why give everyone another reason to judge you?

 

[CaptVader]

Lorca: Are you uncomfortable with the power I've been given, Admiral?

 

[May 20]

CORNWELL: I'm your friend.

 

[CaptVader]

LORCA: Mmm hmm. It's my ship, my way.

 

[May 20]

Shuttlecraft]

COMPUTER: Warning. Incoming warp signature detected. Klingon class D7 battle cruiser identified. Tractor beam engaged.

 

[Orac]

(Lorca and his pilot grab phaser rifles. The rear hatch opens and the pilot is quickly overpowered, then killed with a bat'leth.

Klingon: Captain Lorca.

 

[Athena28]

[Bridge]

CORNWELL: The pilot was killed in the subsequent firefight. Captain Lorca was captured by the Klingons.

 

[May 20]

SARU: Do we know where he was taken, Admiral?

 

[Orac]

Holographic Cornwell: No. By the time we responded to the shuttle's distress beacon, the enemy's warp trail had dissipated. Since you're Acting Captain, I'm sending you what little intel we have. This was a targeted abduction. It's possible the Klingons have learned of the existence of Discovery's propulsion system, and taken Lorca to learn more.We need him back, Mister Saru, before they pry those secrets out of him.

 

[May 20]

SARU: We will find him, Admiral.

 

[Orac]

Holographic Cornhole: Good luck.

 

[Athena28]

SARU: Lieutenant Detmer, set course for the shuttle's last known coordinates, maximum warp. Lieutenant Owosekun, establish search parameters sector by sector. Calculate potential escape vectors correlating to all known Klingon bases, colonies, and planets, within 5 lightyears.


Burnham, what are you doing on the Bridge?

 

[Orac]

Burnham: I came to speak to Captain Lorca.
