I'm probably remembering something from a book I read 20 years ago.

I appreciate the fungus drive for this reason. In the episode it's introduced, it's established it invites in the Hounds of Tindalos and turns people into cubist art.
There's a reason it may not be popular in the future.
Another problem with doing a prequel and saying it is set in the Prime Timeline, is you know somethings need to be set in motion for the events of the later series to happen. There is no Shroom Drive in TOS and on wards, so you know it has to be a failure or something happens that it is never seen/spoken of again.
The drive is currently classified, so that covers part of the possible reasoning it never brought up again.

At the time of her mutiny, she thought she was right. It seems like she changed her mind about that though. And, she certainly feels guilt over suggesting the mission that got her captain killed and killing T'Kumva.
I've come to notice that some people can't spell T'Kuvma properly.
Sigh, and you call yourself a fan if you can't spell the name properly.

No, I posted my response to your posts and Guy's in order to alert the two of you that you were both dealing in a racial stereotype. I'm giving you the benefit of he doubt that you were posting out of ignorance rather than malice.And upon the mere mention of a stereotype you've constructed imaginary sentiments, solely to remind everyone that you're above such things. Well, good for you.
People make mistakes. We’re only Human
Tasia Valenza? She was the computer voice of the Shenzhou, but not the Discovery.
Guess the "virtual Majel" didn't work out...
As well you should be! It makes me laugh, and it's better than my T'Mushmouth.
^ I like "Tacoma".

My mistake, Lorca is obviously part of the extended McDonald family.
I suspect there are minutes until we see Gabriel teach Burnham how to play golf.
They're still fans.
Transwarp fell out of style for generations after it failed on the Excelsior. Starfleet likely just moved on to the next propulsion project, which may have been designing the next and faster generation of warp engine or perfecting the vertical reactor core. I doubt they lingered long on a failed theory based on organic spores.
T'Kuvmamania. It's running wild through the Klingon Empire right now.
Watcha gonna do, Federation?

Regarding T'Kumva's strategic genius, I doubt he's much of a soldier. But he does have Klingon psychology down pat, so him staging the encounter with extreme care is likely.
Yet could he have chosen the location? The Light of Kahless doodad is older than he or his plans, unless Burnham's fine Federation sensors erred. Did T'Kumva tow it to an all-new location?
What is the doodad anyway? Was Kahless already starfaring, rather than Early Iron Age, and factually traveled to a specific star and set up a powerful beacon there, to lay in wait, for whatever (but potentially dynastic) purpose? Or did some later Klingon hoping to benefit from legends construct the beacon, for the very purpose seen here - and if so, why did he or she not immediately make use of it, but left it dormant for "centuries"? (Did somebody's blade intervene?)
In any case, T'Kumva wouldn't have let that much preparation go to waste. It's not as if he'd ever get a second chance.

T'Killmenow.
Bugger.
Kahless is from the 8th century AD but we're not sure how advanced they were before the Hur'q invasion in the 14th century, or for that matter, after the Hur'q left.

Technically the beacon was the winged-looking device where Burnham encountered and accidentally killed the armed torchbearer. But yeah.
Umm, the Beacon was its own thing - it was that egg-with-spines, without any dead bodies in attendance. Its age was "centuries", according to Burnham's suit sensors; its main ingredient appeared to be stone.
T'Kumva's dad's ship was covered in bodies both old and new. "Old" in this case meant thousands of years old. Supposedly, Daddy hadn't yet flown the ship with "body armor" (the flashback to the wreck doesn't show the coffins yet), so T'Kumva appears to have robbed some cemeteries.
Technically, both the egg and the ship could date back to the days of Kahless. Plotwise, neither is established to do quite that. But both are likely to predate T'Kumva's birth anyway.
