The trailer for the first episode of Short Treks bridging the gap between the first and second seasons of Star Trek: Discovery has been released.
Titled “Runaway”, the first mini-episode focuses on Ensign Tilly as she encounters a mysterious cloaked being on board the U.S.S. Discovery. With the titular runaway visibly wounded, it appears the individual has stowed away the Federation starship seeking a safe haven.
