Hi, I'm Kate Mulgrew and I'm the voice of Hologram Janeway
in Star Trek: Prodigy.
This week's lesson is to know when to accept help.
When we encounter difficult things,
it can be hard to ask for help.
Shall I help you plot a course?
- No! - [All] No?
Maybe we don't want to admit to ourselves
that we need help,
but there is absolutely no shame in getting assistance,
especially if it means the result will be better.
The Protostar is equipped
with a sufficient tactical array.
Why not use it?
In the latest episode of Star Trek: Prodigy,
Dal learns that lesson the hard way
when he refuses Janeway's help
and attempts to pilot the Protostar himself.
We don't need her help.
We can plot our own course.
The ship is nearly sucked into a star
before Dal realizes that his stubbornness is harmful
and the only way to save the ship and crew
is to ask for help.
All you had to do was ask.
