If Ryn had been properly debriefed after his rescue all this could have been avoided. Why the Federation let them carry him around as a passenger is beyond me.
Admiral Vance is useless. He never makes a decision and sticks to it. You can't go, you can go strictly as observers. They were never going to be strictly observers. Not with Booker or Ryn aboard.
The plan to use Booker's ship seemed like a good one, but not when it is so obviously endorsed by Discovery and flew out of her shuttlebay. Now Osyraa has escaped and will return with the rest of the Emerald Chain to seek vengeance. Better to have had Discovery fire on her and destroy her ship. They may have broken orders (but then they did that anyway really).
You would expect the Emerald Chain now to hit back hard against the Federation and other non-aligned planets likes Booker's homeworld, Kwejian. However, maybe their lack of Dilithium is much more serious than is being let on and they aren't in a position to do that?
Did Kyheem, really expect Booker to simply hand over Ryn when he summoned him? He obviously knew that that he was on this Federation ship with Ryn aboard too, right? Otherwise, there was no point in summoning him at all. He didn't seem ready for the conflict of interest, or to have thought anything through to the end. So, if Discovery had not attacked Osyraa he had no plan B, and he had no plan to rid Kwejian of those pests and halt the famine. He doesn't sound like much of a leader, just a Osyraa puppet.
The main plot arc is almost buried as a c or d-plot this week. The Discovery science team has found a source for The Burn, using the Ni’Var data. It started in a mysterious nebula, and seems to be connected to a distress beacon sent out by an unknown lost Federation ship. That algorithm seems to take a long time to run.
