Star Trek: Discovery
Season 04
S04E08 - All In
Tarka needs isolynium to complete his weapon, and Burnham knows which black market dealer Book will try to get it from. Rillak refuses to let her go after him, and Vance publicly agrees but secretly gives Burnham different orders: gather data on 10-C’s coordinates but at the same time try to get the isolynium before Book and Tarka do. The latter pair arrive at a casino on Porathia and meet with Haz Mazaro, who agrees to sell them the isolynium if Book helps find a cheater in the casino. Burnham and operations officer Joann Owosekun arrive soon after and buy charts from Mazaro that map 10-C’s coordinates. They are unable to outbid Book and Tarka for the isolynium, so Owosekun fights in a ring to earn them more money. They approach Mazaro with the money just as Book captures a cheater, and the dealer decides to settle this draw with a card game. Book wins the game and claims the isolynium, but not before Burnham plants a tracker on it. The charts reveal a large, artificial “hyperfield” beyond the galactic barrier, and data suggests that it is powered by rare boronite that the DMA mines from planets.
