On Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 10, Dr. Kovich (David Cronenberg), Dr. Hirai (Hiro Kanagawa), and General Ndoye (Phumzile Sitole) sit as part of the council.
Burnham: I can't have you questioning my orders on the bridge. Rillak: I presume we're now clear on the difference between asking a question and questioning.
Kovich: I understand their emotional desire to be present when we make contact. I wish I could be there myself. Burnham: You're not coming? Kovich: Unfortunately, there are other urgent matters that I must attend to. Ndoye: I cannot fathom anything even remotely as urgent as this. Kovich: And I intend to keep it that way.
