Jett Reno
- Jett Reno: Oh, thank Christ you are here. I'm Commander Jett Reno, Engineering. I'd shake your hand, but I'm up to my elbow in Tellarite brains.
- Captain Christopher Pike: Captain Christopher Pike of the USS Discovery. This is Commander Burnham and Commander Nhan.
- Jett Reno: Yeah. I saw the Federation insignia. It's why I didn't vaporize you.
- Captain Christopher Pike: Who were you expecting?
- Jett Reno: Are you kidding? Maybe someone with a bat'leth? Never need to see another one of those for the rest of my damn life.
- Jett Reno: [shakes hands with Pike] Nice to meet you. Relax. Tellarite blood's rich in hemrythrin. The only place on Earth you'll find anything like it is marine invertebrates. Evolution's a fickle bitch, am I right?
- Michael Burnham: How long have you been...?
- Jett Reno: Ten months, 11 days. Remind me never to get stranded in enemy space with a war raging.
- Captain Christopher Pike: Commander Reno, the war's over.
- Jett Reno: No one's speaking Klingon, so... we won?
- Michael Burnham: There was an armistice. We're at peace.
- Jett Reno: An armistice with the guys who drink bloodwine?
- Michael Burnham: Yes.
