The Vulcan Hello Line-by-Line

[shivkala]

BURNHAM: But now we're really lost. We're far too small to be seen with the naked eye. And you can't set a course without a star. Is it wise to be heading away from the village?

 

[CaptVader]

GEORGIOU: It's hard to imagine you've served under me for seven years. I think it's time that we talked about you having your own command.

 

[Athena28]

BURNHAM: I'm grateful, Captain. Though I would be significantly more so if I thought we had any chance of ever returning to the ship.

 

[CaptVader]

GEORGIOU: Just keep walking, Michael. What will you do if you were stuck here for 89 years?

 

[Oddish]

GEORGIOU: "That's easy. I'd escape."

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: These are our footprints. You've walked us in a circle.

 

[shivkala]

GEORGIOU: Not exactly a circle.
(They look up to see a spaceship coming through the clouds towards them.)

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: How did they find us?

 

[Athena28]

GEORGIOU: I set a star.

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: First Officer's Log, Stardate 1207.3. On Earth, it's May 11th, 2256. A Sunday. The crew of the USS Shenzhou has been called to the edge of Federation space to investigate damage done to one of our interstellar relays. Blast burns around the hole are inconclusive. Were they caused by an asteroid, or was it deliberately destroyed to limit Starfleet communications? And if so, by whom? Despite the risks of our mission, I remain optimistic. It's hard not to be in the face of such beauty. In this case, a binary star system. Around these two suns, ice, dust and gasses collide to form the planets future generations will call home. A humbling reminder that all life is born from chaos and destruction.

SARU: Based on initial readings, I would say the relay doesn't appear to have been damaged naturally. I don't like the look of that.

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: Well, keep looking.

 

[mattman8907]

SARU: Well, the comment was figurative. I'm expressing concern.

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: Finish your scans so you can express facts instead. The bridge is yours, Mister Saru.

 

[Orac]

Saru: Yes Commander.

 

[CaptVader]

[Ready room]

GEORGIOU: Yes, Number One.

 

[BlueStuff]

BURNHAM: Your Chief Science Officer is worried. Something took a bite out of our relay. Saru thinks it was malicious.

 

[shivkala]

GEORGIOU: Saru's Kelpien. He thinks everything's malicious. What do you think? Any idea what it is?

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: By all indications, nothing intelligent.

 

[Athena28]

GEORGIOU: But?
