Then La’an learns something crucial to the mission that also hits really close to home: James has never heard of an infamous guy named Noonien Singh. Determined to follow some sketchy guys loading “photonic bomb” evidence into a van, Kirk decides to add carjacking (thanks to a Vulcan nerve pinch learned in a Denobulan prison) to his growing rap sheet, kicking off a car chase and more playful banter. However, the eagle-eyed security officer (with the assistance of a helpful local photographer) spots signs of future weaponry. Oh, “get to the bridge.” Duh.ĭo they have anything in maroon? “My friend and I are on a mission to protect something beautiful”Īrriving at the bombing site, they realize this can’t be the attack that splits the timeline because they both remember this terrorist incident. As they ponder history, it arrives with a bang… the beautiful bridge outside their amazing hotel suite explodes. He starts to listen, especially once he learns she knows Sam, a dead brother in his future. “We don’t need anyone’s help to survive”-sound familiar La’an? She argues he could be more than a soldier fighting a losing war, he could be an explorer. Sure it’s a bit bleak, but humanity found a home in the stars and he has his ship and friends so all this talk of a correct timeline and a federation “utopia” falls on deaf ears. Kirk’s best move is to do nothing beyond raiding the minibar-or risk erasing his own future. In their impressive hotel suite (just how much can you make playing street chess?), La’an is starting to warm up to this casual captain, but they clash over the plan. (Those guys again!) Despite La’an’s stiff focus, he’s relaxed, taking in the moment to enjoy street hot dogs and a real sunset. During this, we learn this Kirk comes from a dark future: He has never even been to Earth, which is a smoldering ruin after a devastating war with the Romulans. But first, they are going to need some local clothes (insert cute shopping/stealing montage) and some local currency (insert fun Kirk chess hustling montage). La’an is immediately on mission: Find the attack and stop it before it changes the timeline. They quickly work out they are in mid-21 st century Toronto in old Canada (“You know, maple leaves, politeness, poutine”) and Kirk is peeved to find himself in the past without any of his cool sci-fi stuff. …Bet she is missing dealing with those boring security issues right about now. As they struggle over the device, it activates, landing the pair in a graffiti-filled alley, where repeatedly pushing the red button does nothing. This Enterprise captain has never heard of Starfleet and is skeptical of her story, demanding she hand over that time gizmo for inspection. Kirk has his own problems so he denies the request and turns his attention to the intruder: La’an. His Vulcan ship is in bad shape and the war with the Romulans is going badly. Kirk of the United Earth Ship Enterprise, who’s dealing with Captain Spock’s dire request for aid. She does as the mystery man suggests, finding the wrong man in the chair… Captain James T. The dying man tells La’an there has been an attack in the past and she must “get to the bridge,” and hands her a mysterious device before a distortion wave passes through the ship and he disappears. The mundanity is broken by a flash in a corridor revealing a man in a grey suit, and he’s been shot… like with a real gun. M’Benga, who interjects some counseling into the jiu-jitsu, but she’s more interested in the punching than facing her self-isolation issues. La’an works out her frustrations sparring with Dr. She has her hands full with Pelia, as the new (ancient) engineer came on board with enough archeological contraband to make Indiana Jones weep. La’an Noonien-Singh is having a routine day handling various security issues ranging from missing items to noise complaints (keep it down, Spock!). WARNING: Spoilers below! RECAP “This is a fork in the road, your future and mine.”
