Quotes
-
Captain Gabriel Lorca : [answering a hail] Admiral Cornwell.
Admiral Cornwell : I didn't realize you were eating, Captain.
Captain Gabriel Lorca : Excuse the breach of protocol.
Admiral Cornwell : We just received a distress signal from the planetoid Corvan 2, a mining colony...
Captain Gabriel Lorca : Near the Aneto system. I know it.
Admiral Cornwell : Sending it through now.
[the message plays]
Admiral Cornwell : Corvan 2 generates 40% of the Federation's dilithium.
Captain Gabriel Lorca : The pipeline's cut off, that's half the fleet grounded.
Admiral Cornwell : Klingons ambushed the blockade that was protecting the colony, and now, the closest Federation ship is 84 hours away. Yours is the only ship in the fleet with a chance of getting there on time. Is the Discovery read to jump?
Captain Gabriel Lorca : I told you we'd be ready when you called, and we are. The Discovery's made dozens of small jumps with no issues. We can make it the full distance.
Admiral Cornwell : You have no doubts?
Captain Gabriel Lorca : None.
Paul Stamets : [cut to Engineering] There is no way in hell we'll be ready to jump that far.
