Stardate not given: His stolen escape pod failing, an Alcorian soldier who identified himself only as Craft is brought aboard Discovery. But the crew didn’t rescue him, because the ship has no crew – Discovery is unoccupied, and has been for a thousand years. The ship’s onboard computer, in that millennium alone, has evolved to sentience, and relishes having humanoid company again. Unsure if he can ever return home to his wife and child, Craft is willing to provide that companionship…up to a certain point.
