"It is good to see you again," Georgiou said.
Burnham can feel the admiral's genuine, less energetic joy. It was what made her different from Tilly. Her joy was different. As is joy when it comes to different people. It wasn't like a party being thrown and there were not too many people participating. The joy was comfortable radiating off the woman. It was also less loud. The commander relaxed shedding the briefest of smiles toward the admiral. It was good to see Georgiou again in the flesh. Burnham stepped aside from the would-be-assassin.
"You look well," Burnham said.
"You look even better," Georgiou said. "you're the one who hasn't gotten gray hair." Burnham raised a eyebrow.
"The gray goes great with your aesthetic," Burnham said. "If I were a knight, I would be pleased to serve a queen like you." The familiar, bright hopeful smile reappeared on the Admiral's face. Burnham admired the well aging woman.
Georgiou's eyes drifted down toward the fallen Romulan.
"I take it that this is the one who attempted to take Sarek's life," Georgiou said, then looked over toward the second officer.
"Yes, Admiral," Burnham said. "This is Bondeth of the T'Tea house."
"I have heard of her," Georgiou said. "A fierce advocate for assisted suicide."
"Assisted with consent she has not," Burnham said.
The camera panned over toward the collapsed would be assassin. Her dark outfits colors were revealed to be dark green. She wore black gloves that lacked fingers. Her ears had golden piercings that were twisted with small bright gems inside. Two security officers lifted the woman to her feet then applied a set of cuffs to her hands behind her back. Bondeth's eyes slowly opened noticing that she was in a colorful room. It dawned on her where she was. Georgiou turned in the direction of the woman with her hands behind her back.
"I am Admiral Georgiou," Georgiou said. "You will face a fair trial, maximum security prison, and a life behind bars for the attempted murder of Ambassador Sarek. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you."
"And the attempted murder of T'Shay," Burnham added. "She murdered six security officers."
"This war will never end," Bondeth said. "there will be more assassins when word gets out that I failed."
"Hold onto that thought," Georgiou said. "what if it doesn't?"
"Your government is not known to be discreet and private regarding trials," Bondeth said.
"We had a trial recently about a admiral who committed treason," Georgiou said. There were looks of confusion at the announcement. Security officers looked at the admiral oddly, Burnham raised both eyebrows, and Bondeth wore a look of disbelief. "the rogue Klingons underestimate us. Take Miss Bondeth to the brig."
"Aye, Admiral," came the reply.
Bondeth was guided out of the transporter room.
"It appears I need to go down to Vulcan with you, Michael," Georgiou said. "About time I met your mother."
"Better late than never," Burnham said, then came onto the circular part of the padd and the Admiral joined her side. "Are you going to inform your first officer?"
"Mr Saru has been a excellent first officer," Georgiou said. "He can handle being in the orbit of Vulcan for a few hours," she turned with a smile toward the transporter chief. "energize."
