Set Phasers

A race to find the progenitor's tech between Discover and the newly minted Moll's Dreadnaught. DiSCO gets there about a moment before Moll, only to spend a few minutes indulging in wonder get scooped by the Breen.

To the Archive! A beautiful, harry potter-esque, castle-in-the-sky full of books and things.  There, Book finds a piece of Kwejian and Michael finds an artifact in Dr. Derex's book Labyrinths of the Mind. When she touches it, she is transported to a literal figurative labyrinth and her body goes catatonic.

Finally, Moll and L'ak are finally caught. L'ak is still in pretty bad shape after the fisticuffs on the ISS Enterprise. When they are brought to Federation HQ on Discovery, it is just as a "primarch" of the Breen Imperium is headed there to collect the prisoners and their blood-bounty (see: "erigah").

The penultimate clue to the "progenitor tech" leads Discovery to a pre-warp, pre-industrial world called Halem'no, where the denizens speak via voice *and* a form of "whistlespeak." Michael and Tilly go undercover as Halemnians and have to run a race up a mountain to gain access to a temple where the fifth clue may be hidden! In a classic Trek turn of events, the race's reward is not exactly what it seems and the clue is not exactl...

Discovery figures out where Moll and L'ak have gone. It was right in front of their faces the whole time! A blinking wormhole made of exotic matter that leads into interdimensional space. No biggie. Michael and Book head in to find the next clue, Rayner has the conn, and the science folks work to find ways to keep up communications and/or get the ship back.

The time is getting VERY *wimey* in this episode of Discovery. Just as the crew heads to the coordinates they got from the ancient Trill host Jinaal scratching their heads at an empty pocket of space, Moll's trap is sprung. Apparently, she put a "time bug" on their ship which, once it connected to the ship's engineering, causes them to hop about willy-nilly in time. Thus, are Michael and Rayner sent on a merry chase through Discove...

Everyone is simply trying to settle in. Book is settling in as a "consultant" on Discovery as they hunt down the map pieces to the Progenitors' "treasure." First Officer Raynor (nee Captain of the Antares) is trying integrate with the DISCO crew... sorta of. And the consciousness of an 800 year old Trill scientist is trying (and succeeding) to settle into the body of Dr. Hugh Culber so that he can lead and/or mystically cajole Mich...

The hunt is on for the hiding place of the Progenitors' tech. The couriers/outlaws Moll and L'ak have a head start on the Federation — but the Federation has DISCO! Captain Burnham is excited be off on an adventure to uncover the origins of sentient life in the galaxy, but changes are afoot. Book is back on board. Tilly is back on board! Joy is back on board the starship Discovery.

The opening episode to Star Trek: Discovery's final season has EVERYTHING. There's phaser fights and fisticuffs, hover-bike chases, love burgeoning, love quickening, and love fading — hell, there's Soong style android with a love of speech pathology. Aaaaaand there's a top-secret Red Directive to find a journal which contains secrets pertaining to the advent of all life in the galaxy that *must not* fall into the wrong hands, else ...

It is the finale. It is a Gorn attack. It is Captain Marie Betel down on a planet with 5000 colonists and the USS Cayuga blown to bits in orbit (save a healthy chunk of saucer section and a single survivor). It is the Gorn drawing a demarcation line in space and getting ready to feed.  And: it is Pike et al to the rescue (sorta)! At least, there's tactical gear and there are phase rifles and there is a death-defying flight down to...

Just a regular ol' deuterium mining operation in Bannon's nebula on the edge of Gorn space. Pike is made fleet captain over the refinery and the USS Farragut as they try to get things online securing a future refuel hub for Star Fleet ships to come.

Just a cute little episode in which Spock and Chapel head down to a moon of Vulcan, inexplicably live through a shuttle crash, and Spock is changed (by advanced beings on the far side of a tear in spacetime) into a full human -- with emotions and body odor, and everything.

Well. It's a bronze age planet where an officer thought to be KIA years back has actually given the locals Starfleet tech and made himself king. Also, he is bitter because he was left behind by the Enterprise. Also there are asteroids on the planet that give off radiation that affect a person's memory and make them forget nearly everything -- their name, their history. So the landing part of Pike, La'An, and M'Benga are up a cree...

How would you feel about a La'an episode? Like *just* La'an, you know, chief security officer dealing with her job, her demons, her heritage, her past? That's a yes, isn't it?! Now, what if we told you we would do that but *also* add in some time travel (to the 21st century), slick leather outfits, a hot (red) muscle car, a massive explosion, gun fights, street food... AND a little side-quest romance with none other than James Tib...

It is one of the mightiest of all Trek tropes: a court case! Full with all the pomp and drama of courtroom procedurals. Stodgy judges, tense side bars, esteemed witnesses and surprise cross-examinations, and even a delightful micro-mystery running through out. One that is, of course, solved by our plucky lawyer/investigator. It's a real romp, is what we're saying. And all of it save Una's career -- and prevent her from having to s...

Set Phasers returns to run down the new season of Strange New Worlds!!

And we begin... Enterprise is in space dock at Starbase 1. Pike is taking some personal days to find a lawyer (maybe?) to help Una Chin-Riley get out of jail and leaves Spock in charge. It should be a sleepy couple of days.
