Star Trek: Discovery
Season 02
S02E09 - Project Daedalus
Starfleet Admiral Katrina Cornwell secretly boards Discovery to interrogate Spock and brings video footage depicting Spock murdering the three doctors. Saru discovers that Section 31 faked the footage using holograms, and Cornwell directs Discovery to Section 31 headquarters where Starfleet’s Control artificial intelligence is kept. Control is behind the forgery and has been directing Section 31 to pursue Spock. Burnham, Security Officer Nhan, and Airiam beam into the headquarters to find the personnel, including Section 31’s leadership, dead after Control turned off life-support systems. Airiam is tasked with restoring Control to Starfleet’s intended purpose, but the virus from the future she carries is actually Control itself and instead attempts to upload the Sphere’s knowledge of all artificial intelligence into Control’s database. Airiam asks to be ejected into space before Control gains the knowledge it wishes; Burnham hesitates, but Commander Nhan jettisons Airiam before it is too late. Airiam dies reliving her favorite memory from before she was technologically-augmented.
