Plotline
Using memories retrieved from Senna, Adira is able to guide Discovery to Starfleet headquarters. Commander-in-Chief Charles Vance asks Burnham, Saru, and Adira to beam over to the base, where Adira is taken away for medical testing. Vance informs Saru and Burnham that the crew will be interrogated and re-assigned while their ship is studied. Saru agrees in hopes of earning the trust of Starfleet.
On discovering that Starfleet is dealing with a health crisis that could be solved through the seed archives aboard the USS Tikhov, Burnham offers to take the Discovery crew there using the spore drive and retrieve the seeds needed. Arriving they find the crew of the Tikhov dead apart from one man who is fatally injured. They realise that he is the same species as security officer Nhan, who decides to remain with the Tikhov to ensure that he and his family receive a proper burial.
Discovery returns to Starfleet with the seeds and Starfleet is able to create an antidote for the health crisis. Following this success, Vance agrees that the Discovery crew may stay together but says that they are to report directly to him.
