Set Phasers Set Phasers: A Highly Illogical Star Trek Podcast

A race to find the progenitor's tech between Discover and the newly minted Moll's Dreadnaught. DiSCO gets there about a moment before Moll, only to spend a few minutes indulging in wonder get scooped by the Breen.
 
While Michael, Book, Adira, and Rhys go undercover to get the progenitor's "structure", folks back at Fed HQ are concern because Primarch Tahal (a different Breen overlord) is steaming for the same location to absorb Ruhn's former soldiers into her squad as the Breen prepare for a possible civil war.
 
The Federation and the Breen; DISCO and Moll et al -- and we torn between (at a lagrange point of sorts) wondering what will befall the galaxy!

To the Archive! A beautiful, harry potter-esque, castle-in-the-sky full of books and things.  There, Book finds a piece of Kwejian and Michael finds an artifact in Dr. Derex's book Labyrinths of the Mind. When she touches it, she is transported to a literal figurative labyrinth and her body goes catatonic.
 
Meanwhile, the Breen (and Moll) follow DISCO's trail to the Archive and begin to bombard it. Raynor and Book do their best to fight off Breen incursions as Michael hunts through the maze with an AI Book. And DISCO (with Cmmdr Rhys at the helm) does their best to keep the Breen incursion limited.
 
Everything comes to a head -- and the poor, poor books! What will become of them?!

Finally, Moll and L'ak are finally caught. L'ak is still in pretty bad shape after the fisticuffs on the ISS Enterprise. When they are brought to Federation HQ on Discovery, it is just as a "primarch" of the Breen Imperium is headed there to collect the prisoners and their blood-bounty (see: "erigah").
 
Culber races to heal L'ak. Adira and Tilly (with the help of Commander Reno) begin to decipher the location of the final clue. President T'rina is in charge of diplomacy as the Breen make contact with the Federation for the first time since The Burn.  And Raynor is hiding something about his past.Should work out just fine...

The penultimate clue to the "progenitor tech" leads Discovery to a pre-warp, pre-industrial world called Halem'no, where the denizens speak via voice *and* a form of "whistlespeak." Michael and Tilly go undercover as Halemnians and have to run a race up a mountain to gain access to a temple where the fifth clue may be hidden! In a classic Trek turn of events, the race's reward is not exactly what it seems and the clue is not exactly where it seems -- and, briefly, all hell breaks loose.
 
Meanwhile, on the ship, Dr. Culber is experiencing a spiritual awakening and an emotionally remediated Commander Rayner does an "ok" job of helping Adira overcome their self-confidence issues. Also, Book plays pong‽

Discovery figures out where Moll and L'ak have gone. It was right in front of their faces the whole time! A blinking wormhole made of exotic matter that leads into interdimensional space. No biggie. Michael and Book head in to find the next clue, Rayner has the conn, and the science folks work to find ways to keep up communications and/or get the ship back.
 
Inside the wormhole? Why, there's the Mirror Universe Enterprise, a stranded couple of courier-lovers with an extensive, operatic backstory -- and, the next clue. Much is revealed but, perhaps the most staggering thing of all: the Breen have two faces(?!)!

The time is getting VERY *wimey* in this episode of Discovery. Just as the crew heads to the coordinates they got from the ancient Trill host Jinaal scratching their heads at an empty pocket of space, Moll's trap is sprung. Apparently, she put a "time bug" on their ship which, once it connected to the ship's engineering, causes them to hop about willy-nilly in time. Thus, are Michael and Rayner sent on a merry chase through Discovery's past -- and one harrowing presentiment of their future. 
 
They'll have to band together with Stamets, who is always somewhat out of time (so to speak), to kill the bug and get back to the present. And the race to get to the Progenitor Tech. Should be simple... unless Michael and her past-self have to duke it out in an elevator. But what are the chances?
