Kirk realized the Sea Emperor Group was being pressured to send a team into dangerous virus-infected worlds, and Chekhov asked whether Kirk’s group would go in its place for compensation.

• Chekhov said another space had secretly sabotaged Las Vegas, causing the sudden difficulty spike and the wormhole failure that blocked the way home.
