Star Trek: Discovery SOOE10- Short Treks: Ephraim and Dot
Space... the final frontier.
Filled with a galaxy of flora and fauna,
some deadly...
and some docile.
Like this Tardigrade here.
Using the mycelial network
as a kind of super-warp highway,
she travels the vast reaches of the galaxy,
searching for a place to lay her most precious cargo,
her eggs.
As Tardigrade eggs have been known
to lay dormant for years before hatching,
Mother must find a warm, protected environment
to ensure their survival.
She senses something.
Could it be a predator?
Oh!
- ... my people? - 72 of your
life-support canisters are still functioning.
You will revive them.
As soon as we reach Starbase 12.
And now...?
Khan is my name.
Intruder.
Ah.
No farther.
No escape for you.
You either leave this bois bloodied
or with my blood on your swords.
Live long and prosper.
Searching.
Tardigrade eggs.
Self-destruct sequence completed and engaged.
At last, peace returns
to the world of our mother Tardigrade.
We can't help but wonder what adventures await
as our new family goes boldly
where no one has gone before.
