Uhura: We’re gonna be a team.
Hemmer: It’s not that simple. There’s a variety of data that only I can assess.
Uhura: And I’m the only one here with a working set of fingers.
Hemmer: I’m not fond of teams.
Uhura: Get fond.

You just turned a compass into a radar.

Spock: Captain, I must remind you that if you fire a photon torpedo inside a brown dwarf, the guidance systems will not work.
Pike: I don’t plan on firing it. We’re going to drop it on them manually.
Ortegas: Now we’re talking.

Spock: If we leave the brown dwarf, they will see us. If we go deeper, it could destroy the ship.
Pike: Good thinking, Mr. Spock. We need to go deeper into the brown dwarf.
Spock: That is not what I suggested.

Spock: You made the logical choice.
Pike: Why doesn’t it feel like that?
Spock: For the same reason you made it. Because you value life.

Chapel: We’re going to have to give it to you via IV.
Una: Do I have a choice?
M’Benga: You can decline. Wait for the systems to be online.
Chapel: We can take bets on when septic shock would begin. I hear it’s like giving birth out your mouth.
Una: Who says something like that?
Chapel: Me.

Your mind is complex. When faced with intense trauma, it can manifest intricate defenses to aid survival.

Spock

I will not fight for Starfleet, but I will defend its ideals. Pacifism is not pacivity. It’s the active protection of all living things in the natural universe.

Hemmer

Pike: Erica, if anyone can surf a wave on a black hole, it’s you.
Ortegas: Now you almost make it sound fun.

Hemmer: Humans waste so much life worrying about death. The Aenar believe the end only comes once you have fulfilled your purpose. It provides meaning.
Uhura: I like that. So what was your purpose?
Hemmer: To fix what is broken.

Earlier today, we were reminded of the cost of exploration. What it means to chart the stars. To push the boundaries of what is known and what is possible. When we seek out the unknown, we will find things that challenge us, that frighten us. But we do not back down. We do not give into fear. And I believe today will not be our last mission but our finest hour.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 4 Quotes

As we honor the lives that’ve been given, let us also be grateful to be still on the journey.

Pike

Exploration can exact a heavy toll. As a captain, there is no loss more devastating than that of a crew member.
