After making their way across the galactic barrier, Michael Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery prepare to make first contact with Ten-C.
Captain Michael Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery have finally arrived at the doorstep of species Ten-C. The challenge before them is how to make first contact with an alien race unlike anything Starfleet and the Federation has ever encountered before. Complicating matters is that Cleveland Booker and Tarka have snuck in on Discovery‘s back and they still plan on destroying the power source for the DMA. Can Michael and Saru lead a successful first contact mission before Tarka achieves his goals? Thanks for downloading or streaming this episode of Warp Trails.
