Star Trek Discovery S4 E12 ”Species 10C”

Finally, we are at the hyperfield bubble of Species 10C! The whole season has been leading up to this! Will Michael, President Rillak, et al be able to find a way to communicate with this vastly advanced species and get them to stop mining the alpha quadrant and accidentally destroying whole planets?!

With the help of Dr. Harai and Saru and a few members of the bridge crew, they *are* able to figure out the beginnings of a "bridge language" and the 10C send a silver egg sphere to the loading bay with a door. Michael, Rillak, T'rina, and Saru go aboard to make a case for the civilizations of the milky way galaxy. 

I mean... this could really work, people!

EXCEPT, Tarka and Book are still planning a desperate mission to grab the DMA controller and power down the DMA so that Tarka can use it to go parallel universe hopping. And they took Jett Reno hostage and she is able to spy on Tarka's calculations and sees that if they take the controller it will cause a catastrophic implosion destroying the hypersphere and the 10C and sending a subspace rift caroming back to the alpha quadrant. That's a lot of lives being snuffed out for Tarka's ambition, but he gets the better of Book, lock him up with Reno and makes a run for the DMA controller.

So... maybe this won't work at all.
