Star Trek: Discovery
SOOEO9 - Short Treks: The Girl Who Made the Stars

3
00:00:29,486 --> 00:00:31,140
Dad!

4
00:00:31,183 --> 00:00:33,142
Michael! Michael, I'm here.

5
00:00:33,185 --> 00:00:35,579
It's okay, it's okay.
What, what? What is it?

6
00:00:35,623 --> 00:00:39,148
It was so scary. It was so scary.

7
00:00:39,191 --> 00:00:41,280
The shadow again, huh?

8
00:00:41,324 --> 00:00:42,934
Computer, aluminum.

9
00:00:42,978 --> 00:00:44,588
I mean, Lu...

10
00:00:44,632 --> 00:00:45,937
Illuminate?

11
00:00:45,981 --> 00:00:47,243
That's what I said. Make it brighter.

12
00:00:47,286 --> 00:00:49,288
Computer, illuminate.

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,118
Sometimes I just feel

14
00:00:53,162 --> 00:00:55,077
like it's you, me and Mommy

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,253
out here in the middle
of all this nothing,

16
00:00:57,296 --> 00:00:58,863
and it's gonna eat us.

17
00:00:58,907 --> 00:01:00,604
And nobody would ever know.

18
00:01:01,736 --> 00:01:03,825
I hate being scared.

19
00:01:03,868 --> 00:01:05,870
I know. But I wonder

20
00:01:05,914 --> 00:01:08,351
if you hate the idea of being scared

21
00:01:08,394 --> 00:01:10,266
more than you probably are scared.

22
00:01:10,309 --> 00:01:11,572
Am I right?

23
00:01:11,615 --> 00:01:14,487
Dad, I'm too little to
know what that means.

24
00:01:14,531 --> 00:01:16,577
Can I just sleep with all the lights on?

25
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:18,317
Sure, you could do that.

26
00:01:18,361 --> 00:01:21,712
But what if I told you
that a girl about your age

27
00:01:21,756 --> 00:01:24,889
with one single tiny light

28
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:27,283
changed the entire universe?

29
00:01:27,326 --> 00:01:28,719
Nuh-uh.

30
00:01:28,763 --> 00:01:30,155
Forever.

31
00:01:30,199 --> 00:01:31,722
Nuh-uh!

32
00:01:31,766 --> 00:01:35,378
You want to hear the story of
the girl who made the stars?

33
00:01:35,421 --> 00:01:39,817
- Yes.
- 1,000 centuries ago in Africa...

34
00:01:41,384 --> 00:01:45,867
...the first people celebrated the Sun.

35
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:48,870
Back then there were no
stars in the night sky,

36
00:01:48,913 --> 00:01:52,351
so when the dark came,
it made them afraid.

37
00:01:52,395 --> 00:01:55,398
They gave their fear a name:

38
00:01:55,441 --> 00:01:57,879
the night beast.

39
00:01:57,922 --> 00:02:00,664
Village law said no first person

40
00:02:00,708 --> 00:02:02,971
was allowed to travel at night.

41
00:02:03,014 --> 00:02:05,234
Now, the first people
were hunter-gatherers

42
00:02:05,277 --> 00:02:06,975
just beginning to farm.

43
00:02:07,018 --> 00:02:09,630
And farming the same land
over and over again...

44
00:02:09,673 --> 00:02:12,502
Well, everybody got together

45
00:02:12,545 --> 00:02:15,244
and just freaked out.

46
00:02:15,287 --> 00:02:17,681
What are we going to do?

47
00:02:17,725 --> 00:02:19,030
Oh, my.

48
00:02:19,074 --> 00:02:22,207
We'll have no land left to farm.

49
00:02:22,251 --> 00:02:24,688
But one girl said to the elders...

50
00:02:24,732 --> 00:02:26,777
We can go past the far mountain.

51
00:02:26,821 --> 00:02:29,475
We can find new land.

52
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:30,781
But the elder said...

53
00:02:30,825 --> 00:02:33,436
That journey would
take longer than a day.

54
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:36,308
Longer than two days,
and that would anger

55
00:02:36,352 --> 00:02:37,701
the night beast.

56
00:02:37,745 --> 00:02:40,443
And then he said to her...

57
00:02:40,486 --> 00:02:42,706
Girl, go play.

58
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:45,056
"Go play"? Are you kidding me?

59
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:46,928
This is what I'm trying to say.

60
00:02:46,971 --> 00:02:48,712
- But that's just rude.
- Ah, ah.

61
00:02:48,756 --> 00:02:50,061
Can I finish, please?

62
00:02:50,105 --> 00:02:52,020
- Mm.
- So, the girl

63
00:02:52,063 --> 00:02:54,718
set out on her own to save her village,

64
00:02:54,762 --> 00:02:58,330
and she was joined by a friend.

65
00:03:08,384 --> 00:03:11,909
But the darkness found her.

66
00:03:14,782 --> 00:03:17,262
And there was only one thing to do.

67
00:03:18,307 --> 00:03:19,612
Run.

68
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:30,754
Whatever was coming,
she didn't want to see.

69
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:33,539
So she hid her face in her hands

70
00:03:33,583 --> 00:03:35,759
and waited for the end to come.

71
00:03:35,803 --> 00:03:40,721
And then out of the
darkness came a light.

72
00:03:45,029 --> 00:03:46,770
So she followed it.

73
00:03:50,861 --> 00:03:54,256
Even though she was
scared, she kept going

74
00:03:54,299 --> 00:03:57,041
toward that light.

75
00:04:01,611 --> 00:04:06,094
And there she found the
most incredible thing.

76
00:04:06,137 --> 00:04:10,141
A being unlike anything she'd ever seen.

77
00:04:10,185 --> 00:04:13,884
First, she thought it
was the night beast.

78
00:04:13,928 --> 00:04:18,106
But when she actually
really looked it in the eye,

79
00:04:18,149 --> 00:04:19,107
she wasn't scared.

80
00:04:19,150 --> 00:04:21,936
She was... curious.

81
00:04:21,979 --> 00:04:25,069
And when the being
saw her, it didn't see

82
00:04:25,113 --> 00:04:27,115
a little girl full of fear.

83
00:04:27,158 --> 00:04:29,334
It saw a brave warrior

84
00:04:29,378 --> 00:04:32,903
whose light shined brighter
than she could ever imagine.

85
00:04:32,947 --> 00:04:36,907
Brighter even than the whole galaxy.

86
00:04:36,951 --> 00:04:39,692
It showed her that
outside of her valley,

87
00:04:39,736 --> 00:04:43,871
there was a whole universe
just waiting to be explored.

88
00:04:43,914 --> 00:04:47,396
But the first step was conquering fear.

89
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:51,095
But how can I tell everyone that
they don't have to be afraid?

90
00:04:51,139 --> 00:04:54,272
"You must show them,"

91
00:04:54,316 --> 00:04:56,013
the being said.

92
00:04:56,057 --> 00:04:59,147
And it gave the girl a gift.

93
00:05:01,236 --> 00:05:03,194
With its ship fixed,

94
00:05:03,238 --> 00:05:06,154
the being disappeared into the night.

95
00:05:11,072 --> 00:05:12,508
When she came back home,

96
00:05:12,551 --> 00:05:15,076
the elder was waiting to scold her.

97
00:05:15,119 --> 00:05:17,948
You could have been eaten or worse.

98
00:05:17,992 --> 00:05:21,125
And you've angered the
darkness, worst of all.

99
00:05:21,169 --> 00:05:23,649
No. I brought us to light.

100
00:05:32,223 --> 00:05:34,182
And the girl brought the stars

101
00:05:34,225 --> 00:05:36,227
to the first people.

102
00:05:38,664 --> 00:05:40,884
She lifted them

103
00:05:40,928 --> 00:05:43,844
because she was brave.

104
00:05:43,887 --> 00:05:46,977
And they were never
scared of the night again.

105
00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:51,242
She was a great explorer,

106
00:05:51,286 --> 00:05:54,898
navigating by the constellations.

107
00:05:54,942 --> 00:05:57,945
The people came to follow her,

108
00:05:57,988 --> 00:05:59,424
and the girl

109
00:05:59,468 --> 00:06:03,037
became a queen.

110
00:06:04,386 --> 00:06:07,302
It was the light inside that guided her.

111
00:06:07,345 --> 00:06:09,043
Exactly.

112
00:06:09,086 --> 00:06:11,132
And when she realized that,

113
00:06:11,175 --> 00:06:14,570
she knew there was
nothing to be afraid of.

114
00:06:16,224 --> 00:06:20,097
Dad, I don't think I need
the night-light anymore.

115
00:06:21,185 --> 00:06:23,492
Good night, my queen.

116
00:06:25,581 --> 00:06:27,539
I love you, Daddy.

117
00:06:27,583 --> 00:06:29,541
I love you, too.

118
00:06:29,585 --> 00:06:31,587
Night night.
