Holo Security Officer :
Our scans picked you out right away.
A rigorous debrief is protocol for Terrans.
Holo Security Officer 2 :
We also know You're a Murderer in at least TWO Universes.
Don't look at Him. Look at Us.
Holo Security Officer :
So, this will be your second universe, your third timeline.
Depends on how you look at it.
Evil Georgiou :
I like to look at it like this --
Holo Security Officer 2 :
Why are you blinking?
Evil Georgiou :
Why aren't you?
Holo Security Officer :
What was Your Connection to Control?
Evil Georgiou :
We Dated.
Holo Security Officer 2 :
All Terrans are Duplicitous by Their Biology.
Evil Georgiou :
Or Biplicitous by Our Duology.
Holo Security Officer :
Neither "ology" has anything to do with it.
You may not be aware, but in the past hundred years,
We've discovered a chimeric strain on the subatomic level in The Terran stem cell.
Evil Georgiou :
Silly Holo. You cannot rattle me
by introducing a completely fabricated biological component
to My Nastiness and Inherently Bad Behavior.
I'm Extremely WICKED, even for a Terran.
Holo Security Officer :
Who are you?
Evil Georgiou :
What if You're NOT A Holo?
Make her stop.
Evil Georgiou :
What if You're A Human programmed
to THINK He's A Holo?
( Chuckles )
Big Glasses :
You broke My Holos.
Evil Georgiou :
Blinking at their harmonic rate disrupts the holo protocols,
creating a reference loop that shuts them down.
Upgrade Your Programs and Stop Wasting My Time.
Why are You Wearing Glasses?
Big Glasses :
Um, they make me look smarter.
I Like 'em.
Evil Georgiou :
....I MIGHT Decide to Like You --
Debrief as You Will.
Big Glasses :
You're Curious about My Badge.
Evil Georgiou :
I'm Bored.
I Thought I could break it down for parts.
Big Glasses :
Play with it.
He removes his badge and rank insignia
from his uniform, tossing it over and across the desk --
She CRUSHES it in her fist,
letting it drop onto the desk and roll onto the floor,
as a tight ball of twisted metal.
Big Glasses :
It's clear, Emperor, what you're capable of.
What's NOT Clear to Me is
Why You chose to come here.
Evil Georgiou :
I Have a Curious Nature.
Big Glasses :
Really? April 5 is My Birthday.
A Terran Holy Day. April 5, 2063...
first-ever contact between Terrans and a Vulcan survey ship.
But then, Your People slaughtered everybody on board.
Evil Georgiou :
Vulcans need to learn to stay in Their Lane sometimes.
And it's not like it's a HIGH Holy Day.
Big Glasses :
I've been fascinated by
Terran History and Methodology
since I was a boy.
There are VERY FEW species
that DO Things simply to DO them.
Evil Georgiou :
We're mostly untroubled by pesky motivations.
Except for Revenge. We Do Like That One.
Big Glasses :
It seems you've created An Empire
based on The Maxim,
"Because We FEEL Like It."
So WHY would you EVER join a Starfleet Crew?
If you simply wanted
to butcher them, You would have.
Evil Georgiou :
Much as I enjoy being fetishized... and I Do...
I'll Answer Your Questions if You Answer Mine first.
Big Glasses :
No, You won't really do that.
Evil Georgiou :
Correct.
Big Glasses :
And even if You Did, You'd Lie.
So the only way I'll glean ANY Information
is via The Questions You Ask ME.
So, please : --
Evil Georgiou :
Who's REALLY in Charge now?
The Burn appeared to have been
quite the humbling experience for The Federation.
Who was responsible?
Big Glasses :
That's Two Questions.
Pick one.
.....There are conflicting theories,
but no hard proof pointing at any one particular Bad Guy.
Evil Georgiou :
Sounds like The Federation lost a step. Or five.
Big Glasses :
And yet it endures. Unlike The Terran Empire, which fell centuries ago.
Were you aware that the distance between our two universes
started expanding sometime after your departure?
There hasn't been a single crossing in over 500 years.
You didn't know that, did you? You're all alone now.
Evil Georgiou :
I think... You and The Federation are afraid.
Because whoever DID this must be Merciless.
A Threat to Whatever or Whomever you hold Dear.
The Weakness of People is generally Other People... isn't it?
Big Glasses :
You're Not Wrong.
But that could also explain
Why You'd fall in line with Discovery.
There's A Person on The Crew...
You Care About, isn't there?
