-: Hello gorgeous.
(explosions)
-: You are the youngest candidate
ever accepted into the CTP.
-: Musk Junior High School, class of 2247.
-: I went to that school for six months
and then my mother got another post
and we moved away,
and you and I have not spoken since then.
After the dark matter hit me,
I started to see a ghost.
-: You are hosting a multi-dimensional
fungal parasite.
-: How do we get rid of it?
-: This might hurt a bit.
(laser weapon fires)
(groaning)
-: I'm from a species
known as the jahSepp.
-: You let Tilly go!
-: I have other plans for her.
-: Wrong!
(screaming)
-: Tilly!
-: I'm not a fugitive.
I've never been a fugitive before.
Except, well, when I was sixteen,
I went through kind of a rebellious phase
and I hacked into-
-: Did you have something to report Ensign?
-: Yes, sir.
The subspace transmissions that Tyler sent.
They went to seven, four, Mark
five-point-six,
which is bizarre because there's nothing there.
-: That's Section 31 headquarters.
-: Start decrypting those transmissions.
We need to know what he said.
-: Aye, sir.
-: Tilly, you've memorized every possible gambit!
-: No, I have not..
Yes I have.
And so has Airiam!
-: Airiam, hi, it's Tilly.
Uh, just a friendly reminder
that you saved every memory you ever had with me.
I think that's because you adored me
and you're an amazing colleague
and you are a great friend.
And also, like, the best kadis-kot player I've ever seen.
And I should know, I won regionals
when I was, like, ten.
-: I can hear you, Tilly, but I cannot stop myself.
-: I was reviewing some scans of Airiam's system.
And I found this weird code,
and at first I figured,
"oh, it's just some junk from an old update."
But then I discovered it's actually a file
that was implanted there by a digital parasite.
The file was called Project Daedalus.
-: Those are the last words Airiam said to me.
-: The file also contains a bioneural signature
of the Red Angel.
Michael, that's you.
-: I know the queen of Xahea.
We share a love of engineering.
-: And what might Xahea have to do
with powering the time crystal?
-: Well, Xahea's remarkable
for its natural dilithium supply.
And it's queen, her Serene Highness,
Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po,
she's only seventeen
but she developed the technology to recrystallize it.
-: Tilly!
-: You taught me to walk tall
and straight into the heart of it,
just like you'll teach your crew one day
when you have your own ship to command.
You're helping us pretty much save the entire galaxy.
I'm gonna miss you, young lady.
-: What do you mean?
I'm not going anywhere.
-: What?
-: Some people are still working...
-: We're here because we're staying with you.
-: I'm gonna swap the particle matrix and emitter
and get the shields back online.
I just have to keep my eyes closed.
-: What?!
-: I've only done this once
and I was blindfolded for a drinking game.
-: Ensign, we cannot depart without shields.
-: Yeah, I'm aware!
