'Strange New Worlds' Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: War Makes Monsters of Us All
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is showing a complete range of episodes with Season 2, as "Under the Cloak of War" shifts gears between the wild and wonderful crossover episode and the upcoming upbeat musical episode to tell a story filled with bloodshed and political intrigue.
Rah takes the gossip in stride and notes the beauty of the Enterprise's viewscreen, admitting that Starfleet ships are superior to Klingon vessels. Pike explains that their ships are designed for exploration over war or defense, but Rah suggests that it's fun to fly nonetheless. Una takes the opportunity to introduce Rah to Ortegas, who bites her tongue, though her disdain for the former general is thinly veiled at best.
Back in the present timeline, M'Benga works on repairing a biobed in sickbay when Pike arrives, asking for a special cooking ingredient for a meal he's planning during their mission. M'Benga notes that Pike didn't have to come down here for that ingredient himself, and the captain explains that he wanted to check in with the good doctor.
At dinner, Rah expresses his gratitude for Starfleet, claiming that the organization saved him after taking him in following the war on J'Gal. Tensions rise for M'Benga and Chapel as they reveal to the ambassador that they were also on J'Gal. He explains that he realized, after several massacres, that fighting was pointless and Pike insists that war is never the ideal option.
The night of the attack, Rah took out the power at the medical base, leaving M'Benga and Chapel to rely on backup generators to bring in their wounded from the battlefield. In order to get the transporter working again though, they have to purge the backlogs, meaning they won't be able to revive the officer they had suspended in the pattern buffer.
