Whistlespeak

Summary

Kovich identifies the five scientists who hid the map pieces, allowing Discovery to determine that the next clue is pointing to a Denobulan weather tower on Halem'no which holds off deadly sandstorms and provides rain. The tower is concealed as a mountain to hide the advanced technology from the Halem'nites, a pre-warp society that should not be interfered with per Starfleet's Prime Directive. Burnham and Sylvia Tilly join the Halem'nites in disguise. With help from Adira, Burnham repairs the tower's malfunctioning control panel while Tilly participates in a race to gain access to the tower. She and one of the Halem'nites, Ravah, win the race and are locked inside the tower as sacrifices to the Halem'nite gods. Burnham violates the Prime Directive to free them and reveal to the Halem'nites that the tower is advanced technology which requires no sacrifice.
