"You're suggesting the comet had foreknowledge of future events? The comet's flight path and its, I don't know, mission to seed that planet was predicated on you flying that shuttle to move it."

"It knew its fate, you might say."

Pike is agonizing over his future.

Una: "Is it because of what you told me, about what you saw on Boreth?"

Pike: "Turns out, knowing your future kind of takes the fun out of imagining it."

Una: "Chris, have you considered that maybe your fate isn't written?"

Pike: "Dusty Swender. T'quiel Dawn. Muliq Al Alcazar. Yuuto Hoshide. Andrea Lopez. I could keep going. These are the kids I save when it happens."

Una: "You know their names."

Pike: "Lately, I've been saying them over and over again, like a reminder. Stay the course, save their lives. I refuse to believe there isn't another way."

Is there a way to prevent his future from happening?

Una: "So, just because you receive a message from the future doesn't mean you understand it."

Pike: "We're not talking about the comet anymore, are we?"

Una: "Don't throw your life away, Chris."

Pike: "Number One..."

Una: "I know you had a vision of the future, but..."

Pike:"I made a choice. I accepted my fate. It... It goes beyond my own life."

Una: "What if you're wrong? What if you got that message so you could save those kids and that's it? What if you don't have to ruin your life, too? How do you know you can't make a different choice? One that saves all of you? What if your fate is what you make it?"

Pike: "Computer, call up all available information for the following Federation citizens. Dusty Swender. T'quiel Dawn. Muliq Al Alcazar. Yuuto Hoshide. Andrea Lopez."
