For the first time, we learn the tragic origins of Commander Airiam . She was a human who required extensive cybernetic augmentations after a shuttle crash that killed her husband. In a heart-wrenching climax, Airiam—who has been compromised by the rogue AI "Control"—regains enough of her own consciousness to beg Michael Burnham to jettison her into space to stop the upload of dangerous data.
Airiam's cybernetic survival subtly foreshadows the future fate of Captain Christopher Pike , who will eventually rely on similar life-support technology after a different tragic accident. Watch Star trek discovery s02e09 webrip x264-tbs-1
