Ensign Inman :
What are we doing here, Doc?
Dr. Joseph M'Benga :
Why did you join
Starfleet, Ensign?
Ensign Inman :
To explore. Learn.
I don't know... none of the
stuff that I've been doing lately.
Dr. Joseph M'Benga :
I joined to find new ways
of Healing People.
With Starfleet, you learn how the rest
of The Universe treats its maladies.
And This War,
it's A Disease
eating at The Heart
of The Federation.
If We let The Klingons conquer
every colony in the sector,
They won't stop --
They WON'T go
back to Kronos.
All of Us have to remember what
We love most about back Home.
We fight for them.
We fight, hoping it
doesn't change us.
Hoping...
We don't come
Home different.
But if We don't Fight,
We don't Win.
The Disease
takes over --
And none of us have
A Home to go back to.
Ensign Inman :
I just wish we could stop
this without all this dying.
We have to Fight --
So The People We Love can
have a chance to Live in Peace.
That's Starfleet.
[DISTANT EXPLOSIONS]
Capt. Christopher Pike :
Number One --What's this?
Number One :
A course through
the Chantico Nebula.
Gets us to Starbase
by tomorrow.
Capt. Christopher Pike :
Chantico?
Number One :
We need to get Rah
off This Ship.
-- Crew morale is LOW.
Capt. Christopher Pike :
[sighs] How can We represent A Federation
that believes in Peace if we say some people
aren't allowed to make up for Their Past?
Number One :
I agree with you, in The Abstract; but
the people he HURT, some
of them right here in this crew,
might not find Forgiveness
so easily -- It isn't fair for us to
ASK them to just let it go --
Federation or not, everyone
is on their own Journey.
Capt. Christopher Pike :
-- Okay, change course,
cut through Chantico
Nebula and arrive early.
Number One :
Aye, Captain.
