"You're welcome"?
361
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,138
The way you rigged
that tricorder
362
00:21:05,222 --> 00:21:07,057
into a remote terminal
was so cool!
363
00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:08,433
Am I talking too much?
364
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:10,394
You know you can tell me
if I'm talking too much.
365
00:21:10,477 --> 00:21:12,229
I'm thinking of calling
my next holonovel
366
00:21:12,312 --> 00:21:15,357
"Mission Assignment Solum:
367
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,985
"The Adventures of Dirk Danger
368
00:21:18,068 --> 00:21:22,572
and the Dome of Loom…
and Doom."
369
00:21:22,656 --> 00:21:25,909
That is certainly a title.
370
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:28,453
No matter what's changed,
371
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:31,164
Solum's fallen into civil war.
372
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:37,004
This isn't over yet.
373
00:21:37,087 --> 00:21:41,466
Admiral, I'm beyond grateful
for the rescue, truly,
374
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:45,012
but as you said down there,
we're not out of the woods yet.
375
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:48,015
I can't leave my people
in the hands of that monster.
376
00:21:48,098 --> 00:21:50,267
We have to finish
what we started,
377
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:52,686
save Solum,
and complete our mission.
378
00:21:52,769 --> 00:21:55,522
- Agreed.
- I know you won't--
379
00:21:55,605 --> 00:21:57,649
Wait, really?
380
00:21:57,733 --> 00:22:00,235
Whatever you need,
we'll make it happen.
381
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,154
We'll find a way to get
the "Protostar" back, too.
382
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:05,866
Wow. Thanks, but, uh, why?
383
00:22:05,949 --> 00:22:07,409
Because I've been reminded
384
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:11,038
that boldness isn't only
for the young.
385
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:15,917
And when Starfleet is united,
we can always overcome.
386
