Our security is only as strong as our unity.

La’an

You see the connections between us when all we see are the empty spaces.

Pike

Do you know the odds of all of us being here on the Enterprise at this time? It’s improbable, and yet here we are. Together. All of us.

Uhura

I promise you even Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon itself will not make me forget that you sang about lying to me.

Batel

Spock: There appears to be an incoming warp signal heading our way fast. The signal has Klingon encryption.
Una: The last thing anyone wants is singing Klingons.

Admiral April’s last message confirmed that the improbability field has now spread to twelve Federation ships. He let me know in a surprisingly beautiful baritone that he wants us to stop this now, by the way.

Una

La’an: When people sing, they are confessing highly personal, emotional information.
Pike: Lieutenant, are you telling me our emotions constitute a security threat?

Uhura: I have a theory. I think since we’re in a musical reality, we actually following the rules of musicals.
Pike: So when do characters in musicals usually begin to sing?
Una: When their emotions are so heightened, that words won’t suffice.

Secrets I keep safe inside / A skill I perfected so I could survive / It worked before / It doesn’t serve me anymore / I wish I never learned how to be / So good at keeping secrets.

Firing on the field would be devastating. As you can see in this simulation, the explosion would propagate through the entire Federation subspace network, destroying everything. It would be like soaking the improbability field in kerosene and holding a match to it.

Spock

Pike: What are the odds we could shut down the improbability field before the Klingons get here?
Spock: Not good. At least according to the data we have.
Pike: Then find new data. You both need to fix this. You’re applying old rules to a new reality. I suggest you find a different tempo fast.

Mr. Spock, you explained that very well. I almost understood it.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Quotes

Pike: Send someone else. You don't want me in command of that ship.
April: You're getting us confused. You don't want you in command.

No matter how many stars there are in the sky. No matter how many galaxies swirl beyond our own. No matter the mathematical probabilities or the number of times we say, 'We are not alone in the universe,' our first visit from the stars is always the province of children's stories and science fiction. First contact with aliens always lives squarely in the impossible. First contact is just a dream until one day, it isn't.
