express order!
I had no choice.
He attacked us, tried to escape.
You disobey me again, I'll lock you in the targ pit.
You won't see the light of day
for a month. Do I make myself clear?
Yes... Father.
What's our speed? Holding at warp
three-point-eight.
Not fast enough.
The port inducer assembly's been damaged.
Go to Engineering and repair it.
I'm not an engineer.
You're a bright boy, Malik.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
First Officer's log,
Supplemental.
We've evacuated the Away Team
and all personnel from the station.
The Captain shows no sign
of infection.
He's recovering in Sick Bay.
They crossed the Klingon border
approximately two hours ago.
Soong's not even bothering
to cover his tracks.
He knows the Klingons
will intercept us if we follow him.
They have half
a dozen patrols in the area.
Is there something we can do
to keep us from showing up on their sensors?
I could paint a bird-of-prey
on the hull.
Perhaps we could fake
a Klingon warp signature.
I'd have to reconfigure the coil assembly.
It would take a few hours,
but it should be doable.
What's the status
of C-12?
Dr. Lucas and his team would like to return
and begin decontamination procedures.
That's quite a mess they got to clean up.
He estimates it will take more than a year.
Once we're safely through Klingon space,
we'll set a course for these coordinates.
The Klingons call it
Klach D'kel Brakt.
I call it the Briar Patch.
It's a little catchier,
don't you think?
"Briar Patch"?
You should have read more
of the books I left for you.
The region is flooded with radiation
from supernova remnants.
The Klingons have
never mapped it.
But there are signs of at least two habitable planets
inside the Briar Patch.
It's unlikely anyone
will find us. This is your plan?
To hide again?
The embryos need to mature
in a safe environment.
Starfleet isn't gonna give
up so easily.
They'll send other ships.
This gas cloud won't protect us.
All right.
What course would you set?
I'm not certain.
But I know that running
away isn't the answer.
Are you familiar with
the name Botany Bay?
It's a penal colony on the shores of Australia.
It's also the name of a pre-warp vessel,
launched at the end of the Great Wars.
The ship carried many of our brethren,
including Khan Noonien Singh.
Botany Bay is a myth.
There's no evidence
it ever existed.
All records of the
launch were destroyed.
They didn't want to be followed.
Even if you're right, the ship was lost,
never to be heard from again.
That's exactly my point.
Khan was a great leader, but he made one fatal mistake.
He ran from his enemies
rather than face them.
We've spent our entire lives running and hiding.
When are we going to make a stand?
The matter is not open
for debate.
Alter our heading--
course 184, mark 3.
We're going to the Briar Patch.
I'll be in my lab.
I wasn't aware
the doctor discharged you.
He didn't.
What's our status?
Holding position
near the Klingon border.
Bridge to Engineering.
Are we ready?
I've realigned the warp coils. We should look
like a Klingon battle cruiser to their sensors,
but this trick's not gonna work
if we get within 80,000 kilometers.
Understood.
Tactical Alert.
Take us in, Travis.
Warp four.
Come in, Malik.
You asked for me?
You have to stop challenging my authority
in front of the others.
Well, can't a son disagree
with his father? I thought we were family.
I'm willing to overlook the things you've done.
But you have to trust that what I'm doing
is best for
all of us.
You used to have faith in me.
I was a child.
I didn't know any better.
I know it wasn't easy
after I left. How are the embryos?
I'll be ready to incubate the first of them
in a few hours.
You are manipulating its DNA.
These base-pairs sequences
regulate the neurotransmitter
levels in their brain.
If I can modify them,
aggression and violent behavior
will be removed.
You're changing its personality.
I'
