[rustling of fabric]
[suspenseful music]
Let's show them who we are.
[suspenseful music drowns out]
[dramatic music]
[Burnham] We traveled into the future.
[engines roaring]
[Burnham] 930 years.
[whistling]
[Burnham] A one way trip, no going back.
[crashes]
Discovery come in.
Discovery do you copy?
[dramatic music]
[feedback]
[gasps]
[Computer] You have reached Year 3188.
Is there life here?
Anywhere?
[dramatic build-up]
Multiple life signs detected.
Yes!
[screaming echoes]
We are completely disconnected, but we are also together.
You're not from around these parts.
[dramatic music]
The Federation mostly collapsed after the Burn.
What's the Burn?
The Burn was the day the galaxy took a hard left.
[explosions ringing]
[glass shattering]
[Burnham] The Federation isn't just about
ships, the Federation is its people.
[rustling fabric]
I've always believed that you were
out there somewhere and that we were
part of the Federation no matter what.
Welcome to the future.
Dysfunction aside, you all
make a pretty good team.
Dysfunction is the team.
We've just accepted it.
No we haven't.
[dramatic music]
True believer.
Yeah.
Time traveler.
There was no other way.
[dramatic music]
The thing is, you got no authority here.
[glass shatters]
[dramatic music]
Let's show them who we are.
[electricity sparks]
[dramatic music]
[loud thump]
[laughing]
What?
[dramatic music]
[Burnham] We all want a future that's real, that matters.
The Federation gave us the resources and the
mandate to solve the biggest most troublesome
problems in the galaxy, and I may question,
and I may fear because the problems often seem
insurmountable, but haven't we always risen to meet them?
We have work to do, but if things were easy.
[groaning and thumping]
[dramatic music]
[explosion rings]
[dramatic pause]
It wouldn't be worth its.
[giggles]
[dramatic music fades out]
