Ad Astra per Aspera

Pike recruits Illyrian civil rights attorney Neera Ketoul as defense counsel for Number One. The prosecution, led by Pike's girlfriend Captain Marie Batel, easily builds a case that Number One violated Starfleet's anti–genetic modification laws by hiding her identity as a genetically modified Illyrian; Ketoul argues that the law is unjust and inconsistently applied, and points out that Admiral April has violated the Prime Directive when he believed it was the right thing to do. La'An—a descendant of the genetically modified warlord Khan Noonien Singh—investigates how Starfleet learned of Number One's status, worried that the information was taken from her own personal logs.
