Star Trek: Discovery Teases Kovich Bringing Down Species 10-C

screenrant.com:

Kovich and Bryce are working on something special in Star Trek: Discovery season 4 — will they strike upon the key to victory against Unknown Species 10-C? The Federation faces a great and enigmatic threat in Star Trek: Discovery season 4. A hugely advanced race designated Unknown Species 10-C has been using a Dark Matter Anomaly (DMA for the sake of brevity) to harvest boronite, churning up entire planets in the process. The Federation would quite like 10-C to stop, but when Ruon Tarka destroyed the DMA, the fearsome civilization on the other end of the wormhole simply replaced it with all the inconvenience of changing a light bulb.

Sonequa Martin-Green's Michael Burnham must now lead her crew (and a group of Federation delegates) on a diplomatic mission to request Species 10-C cease their destructive boronite mining. Given how easily 10-C replaced one DMA with another, the civilization evidently has enough firepower to destroy the Federation, should it choose. And given how the second DMA was even more powerful than the first, Species 10-C aren't giving off «diplomacy» vibes in Star Trek: Discovery. A battle looks inevitable, but the Federation may have a secret weapon up its sleeve — the unlikely duo of Kovich and Bryce.

David Cronenberg's Kovich — a Starfleet scientist — and Ronnie Rowe Jr.'s Bryce — Discovery's communications officer — are currently working on a method of communicating through the Galactic Barrier that separates the Milky Way from Unknown Species 10-C, and Star Trek: Discovery establishes this sub-plot with a conspicuous amount of care.
