Star Trek: Discovery | Season 4 Episode 8 ”All In”

....and we're back at the DISCO!

 

 Since Book and Ruon Tarka took matters into their own hands and decided to steal the next generation spore drive and go build their own isolytic bomb and take a punch at species 10C on their own, the Federation is in a shambles. Michael has been told that she and DISCO cannot go after Book (the president feels she is too close to it), but then in private Admiral Vance asks her to very try to go after Book.

 

What's an enterprising Star Fleet captain to do but screw her courage to the sticking place and find a nice loophole. Since it was unlikely the Fed knew about her connections on a distant planet *and* that would be a good play to go for isolynium as well as extra-galactic starmaps – Michael jumps in a shuttle with Lt. Comm Owosekun and they head to...

 

...Haz Mazaro's Karma Barge. Shenanigans ensue. A changeling, a fightclub, a couple rounds of poker... all for a little isolynium (and the safety of billion of lives). WHAT'S NEXT?!?!
