Brother Quotes

Michael Burnham: Stamets must be having a field day.

Sylvia Tilly: Um. Stamets is transferring off the ship. And if you ask me any more questions, I'm going to start crying like a baby tribble in the kill zone

Saru: Your brother is the science officer on the Enterprise?

Michael Burnham: Foster brother.

Saru: I can sense your endocrine system in overdrive. You are anxious to see him.

Michael Burnham: I'm fine, Saru.

Saru: I was using the term in its most positive sense, meaning "anticipatory".

Michael Burnham: We received a priority alert from one of Starfleet's most prominent ships. I am on a mission and in problem-solving mode. That's what you're sensing.

Cmdr. Nhan: [admiring the Discovery] I see where the Federation puts its pennies.

Captain Christopher Pike: Do not covet thy neighbor's starship, Commander.

Saru: Welcome aboard, Captain Pike. I am Commander Saru, acting captain of the USS Discovery. How may we be of service?

Captain Christopher Pike: Well, Commander, this is awkward, but back in Mojave, I learned the best way to get in a cold stream was to jump right in.

Captain Christopher Pike: I'm here at Starfleet's order to take command of the Discovery under Regulation 19, Section "C."

Saru: Well, we received no notice from Starfleet.

Captain Christopher Pike: Because I was asked to deliver the news myself out of a respect for what you and your crew have been through.

Saru: Forgive me, Captain. Your directive is only instituted under three contingencies: when an imminent threat is detected, when the lives of Federation citizens are in danger, or when no other officers or equal or higher rank are to mitigate this threat. May I ask under which contingency you are here?

Captain Christopher Pike: All of them.

Cmdr. Nhan: Magnetics are messing with my nav computer.

Captain Christopher Pike: I'm peaking, too. Switch to manual navigation.

Cmdr. Nhan: I'm losing control.

Michael Burnham: These pods are built for this, Nhan. Just take the stick manually.

Cmdr. Nhan: You mean manually manually?

Jett Reno: Oh, thank Christ you are here. I'm Commander Jett Reno, Engineering. I'd shake your hand, but I'm up to my elbow in Terrarite brains.

Captain Christopher Pike: Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Discovery. This is Commander Burnham and Commander Nhan.

Jett Reno: Yeah. I saw the Federation insignia. It's why I didn't vaporize you.

Captain Christopher Pike: Who were you expecting?

Jett Reno: Are you kidding? Maybe someone with a bat'leth? Never need to see another one of those for the rest of my damn life.

Jett Reno: [shakes hands with Pike] Nice to meet you. Relax. Tellarite blood's rich in hemrythrin. The only place on Earth you'll find anything like it is marine invertebrates. Evolution's a fickle bitch, am I right?

Michael Burnham: How long have you been...?

Jett Reno: Ten months, 11 days. Remind me never to get stranded in enemy space with a war raging.

Captain Christopher Pike: Commander Reno, the war's over.

Jett Reno: No one's speaking Klingon, so... we won?

Michael Burnham: There was an armistice. We're at peace.

Jett Reno: An armistice with the guys who drink bloodwine?

Michael Burnham: Yes.

Sylvia Tilly: What are you doing here?

Paul Stamets: Well, that depends. Are you attempting to capture an asteroid, Ensign Tilly?

Sylvia Tilly: Uh, just a little piece. If my theory's correct, we'll be able to interact with dark matter, sir.

Paul Stamets: Well, I'm offended I wasn't invited to the party.

Sylvia Tilly: Oh, my - oh my, God, you're so invited.
