The Vulcan Hello (2017)

Ali Momen: Kamran Gant

Quotes 

• Michael Burnham : Captain, we have to fire on them. Hit that ship with everything we've got.

  Captain Phillipa Georgiou : Absolutely not. They haven't powered weapons. They don't appear to pose an imminent threat.

  Michael Burnham : The Klingon threat is always imminent and inevitable.

  Kamran Gant : Tactical log's ready.

  Captain Phillipa Georgiou : Thank you, Mr. Gant. I'd like to remind you, we're wildly outgunned.

  Michael Burnham : 240 years ago, near H'Atoria, a Vulcan ship crossed into Klingon space. The Klingons attacked immediately. They destroyed the vessel. Vulcans don't make the same mistake twice. From then on, until formal relations were established, whenever the Vulcans crossed paths with Klingons, the Vulcans fired first. They said "hello" in a language the Klingons understood. Violence brought respect. Respect brought peace. Captain, we have to give the Klingons a Vulcan "hello".
