Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation #5
(W) Robbie Thompson (A) Serg Acuña
Make one last dive into the deep and tentacle-filled waters of the planet Poilant!
Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley is no longer herself. Possessed by the ancient hivemind known as the Seed, she’s turned against her crew — and now, aboard a derelict alien ship, she’s raining destruction down on the Enterprise above Poilant. Captain Pike fights to hold the line, but the ship is slipping through his fingers.
Miles beneath the ice, Spock and D6 seek answers from leviathan squids, while Chapel and Jinare battle a blizzard to save what’s left of a shattered research team. The cold is merciless. The Seed is watching. And hope is fading.
But Chapel won’t back down. If death is coming for her crew… it’s going through her first.

The Seed has taken hold — body, mind, and soul. Now under its control, Una and Jinare have become relentless drones, driven by vengeance. As Chapel struggles to untangle the lies binding them together, La’An, Spock, Scotty, and D6 fight to reconnect with the Enterprise… but first, they must survive the crushing abyss — and a colossal sentient squid guarding the way to the surface.
Aboard the Enterprise, Uhura intercepts a strange signal pulsing from Poilant’s surface — faint, fragmented, and impossible to trace. But Ortegas spots something else: a glowing red light spreading across the terrain, its shape disturbingly familiar. Is it… a ship? Or something far more dangerous?

Aboard the Enterprise, chaos erupts as Poilant drones attack without warning. With the ship under fire, Ortegas must push her piloting skills to the limit to buy Uhura a narrow window — one last chance to reconnect with their stranded crew and unlock the deadly mystery hidden within Poilant’s strange, ancient symbols.
Meanwhile, on a desperate mission to locate a missing Starfleet research team — and their friend Jinare — Chapel, La’An, Una, Spock, Scotty, and their unlikely robotic ally D6 stumble into the clutches of a terrifying parasitic hive-mind known as the Seed. As the alien collective tightens its grip, one question looms: Is this the force behind Jinare’s vanishing… or just the beginning of something far worse?
In the upcoming fourth season, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise—led by Captain Christopher Pike—embarks on a series of thrilling and emotional adventures across the stars. As they journey to strange new worlds, they will battle inner demons and external threats, encounter colorful new characters, reunite with familiar faces and confront terrifying aliens. Through it all, they strive to embrace a bright, hopeful future.

From Strange New Worlds season 4 writer Robbie Thompson (The Sin Bin, Marvel’s Silk) and Star Trek knockout artist Travis Mercer (Cyborg, Teen Titans) comes a Lovecraftian horror the likes of which the crew of the Enterprise has never seen before!
After plodding through uneventful mission after uneventful mission, Christine Chapel is itching for a real adventure. So, when an opportunity to reunite with her old scientist friend Jinare for research on the planet Poilant crops up, Chapel is excited to finally do what Starfleet does best: explore strange new worlds. However, when the Enterprise arrives in Poilant’s space, the crew cannot get into contact with Jinare or any of her researchers. Chapel, Una, Spock, La’An, and Scotty beam down, and they are greeted by… nothing… no one… and no signs of what caused their disappearance, only a robot named D6 who urges them to descend into the planet’s depths in search of his friends. But there’s more than scientists lurking in the watery abyss. Ancient life-forms and behemoths await — and they might mean more adventure than even Chapel can handle.
