With a little help from Kovich, Captain Michael Burnham and the rest of the crew of the USS Discovery figure out the next clue on the path leading the the Progenitor’s technology. This clue leads them to a pre-warp, pre-industrial society where the people believe in gods and rituals that will bring them rain on a dry and desolate world. As Captain Burnham and Lt. Tilly work to fit and locate the next clue, they encounter a crisis that invokes the Prime Directive. Join us as we dive into the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery here on Warp Trails.
