“Space.
“The final frontier.
“Above us; around us; within us – we have always looked to the stars to discover who we are.
“A thousand centuries ago in Africa, the ǀXam Abathwa tribe gathered to share a story: The tale of a girl who dug her hands in the wood ash and threw it into the sky to create the Milky Way. And hidden there, a secret, buried among the eternal stars, was a message – an enormous letter in a bottle made of space and time, visible only to those whose hearts were open enough to receive it.”
– Michael Burnham

Calypso ~3187 (“almost 1,000 years”); ST; a glimpse at the original backstory/origin of Zora and Book, but the story arc details were changed after this episode was released: Originally, Michael and the crew of Discovery were to go to the future without the ship. But the “Craft” character was later refined, renamed “Book”, and recast. Discovery’s journey to the future was shortened (ie the crew ended up taking the ship with them), leading to Zora also needing a new origin for her later (re-)appearance in Season 2.
