Oh, God. But this is a top sacred mission. Oh, God, yeah. And I think you should be in charge

of the mission. Oh, okay. And I'll stay behind and captained the ship. Okay. Why were you sorry to do that?

Just because I didn't know if you'd want to go. What? Yeah, no, I would, yeah, I would, yes. I'm super

stoked to... It's a time travel mission. What? Yeah. Okay. I've been contacted by the 28th century. Captain, before you go on, I've been in your ready room this whole time. We were waiting for a meeting. I'm sorry. No one ever notices that I'm here, so I'll just slowly back out of the door. I'm sorry, Cecile.

Oh, quick, you're in on this mission now then, too. I mean, it is prehistoric, but that's, like, kind of too big in an umbrella, you know? What's before history? Everything before history. We have to introduce fire to the Neolithic people. That sounds right. Turns out the Romulans have been trying to disrupt our time stream. Sneaky. Classic Romulans. Yep. Oh, I should probably close my red room door. Everyone on the bridge has been listening. Yeah, sounds good, Captain. I've already got the course set in for prehistoric Earth. Thank you.
