Boimler: Aah! Aah! Help! The portal's trying to portal me!

YN: I got him!

Boimler: (Scream.) Remember me!

Boimler & YN: Mariner!?

Boimler: What are you- what are you doing here?

Mariner: I'm saving you, guys.

YN: Mariner, we only had enough for one-

The time machine shuts off in an instant.

YN: -trip....

Present

Pike: Captain's log, supplemental. Our problems seem to have doubled. We started our day with two time traveler and now we have three, which is a lot.

The future ensigns are arguing whisperly to each other.

Boimler: Okay, not to be ungrateful, but if you had just waited, like, one more second, we wouldn't be stuck here.

YN: Why did you even jump through!?

Mariner: Do-do do you guys know how worried I was? You disappeared in a vortex while I was in charge. For all I knew, you two were dead or stuck in a dystopian San Francisco in the middle of a riot.

YN: Oh my god.

Una: Have you noticed that their references are weirdly specific?

Spock: Indeed.

YN: This all could've been avoided if you didn't jump before we did-

Mariner: I'm sorry, hold up. Look, I'm gonna keep this, like, 100% profesh, but I was thoroughly unprepared for how hot young Spock was going to be.

Boimler: (Sigh.) Yeah, he's full of surprises.

Mariner: Like, what? The body, the face, the ears what?

Pike: I realize we're all still all reacting to the recent complication, but we also very much need a solution.

La'an: Two time traveler is a security threat. Three is...

Una: A disaster.

Mariner: Thought you said they were cool.

Boimler: They are. This is serious.

Everyone seated around the table.
