Plotline
The USS Discovery arrives in the future and crashes on a glacier on an unknown planet. The ship is damaged and its crew are wounded, including helm officer Keyla Detmer. Acting Captain Saru decides to repair the ship before exploring the outside world, but they discover that they are missing items required to complete the repairs.
Saru and ensign Tilly go to a nearby settlement to get the spares they need. They find a group of poor miners oppressed by a courier named Zareh. The miners use programmable matter to help Discovery in exchange for some of the ship's dilithium, which would allow them to leave the planet and escape Zareh.
However, Zareh arrives and attacks the group, killing one of the miners and planning to take all of Discovery's dilithium. He is stopped when Mirror Georgiou, overpowers Zareh and his men. The crew return to Discovery with the resources they need, but the glacier's parasitic ice has encased the ship and it is unable to take off. Burnham arrives and frees them with the help of Book's ship.
