[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: Let's not indulge that curiosity. It went down by Klingon territory. Let's get in and get out.

 

[May 20]

STAMETS: Really? We're running drills near Klingon space.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: We are at war, Lieutenant. I'd appreciate a day without me having to remind you of that.

 

[CaptVader]

Stamets: Well, Captain, I will need to take a team with me. You know, for the cumbersome, annoying science part.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: Pick a team. Do it quickly. And take Burnham with you.

 

[CaptVader]

Stamets: Sir, it's one thing to make her a data cruncher in my lab, but to integrate her into this project at such a deep level...

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: I understand that you lost a friend today, but this is not a democracy. You understand?

 

[Athena28]

STAMETS: Yes, sir.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: Number One, you sailed with Burnham aboard the Shenzhou. What is your assessment of her abilities?

 

[CaptVader]

Saru: Her mutiny aside, she is the smartest Starfleet officer I have ever known.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Lorca: Huh. And he knows you.

 

[May 20]

[Shuttlecraft]

TILLY: I can't believe he picked me. I mean, I'm the best theoretical engineer on the ship, it's why I was fast-tracked at the Academy, but this is my very first boarding party. Kind of hard to believe, right?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Burnham: Not really.

 

[May 20]

TILLY: So, er, I need to apologize to you. Yesterday I didn't want you to take the station next to me because, er it's really important that I make a good impression here, and I was afraid that if I was seen with you, that would get in the way of it.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Burnham: I understand. It's okay.

 

[CaptVader]

Tilly: No, it's not okay. It's... I have this character flaw. I care too much about what other people think about me. But you don't care if, like, everybody hates you. No, that came out wrong. Er, I... I think that you could help me.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Burnham: You're a nice kid, Tilly, but I'm not staying long enough to make friends.

 

[CaptVader]

Pilot: We're dropping out of warp. Approaching the Glenn.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Unnamed Woman [OC]: Disco 1, confirm visual acquisition.

 

[CaptVader]

Stamets: You see the etchings on the hull? That's evidence of catastrophic basidiosac rupture.
