However, they walk right into a trap and the pirates launch an invasion on the Enterprise, taking advantage of the decreased shield security to facilitate the landing party. Pike notices that there is a lack of unity and trust amongst the Pirates and plots to drive them to mutiny so he can take advantage of the resultant chaos to regain control of the ship.

While he initially believed that Aspen’s husband was killed by the same pirates, her true intentions are revealed after she tricks Spock into lifting the command lockdown. She had a long-standing grudge against the Vulcans, who had imprisoned her husband in a rehabilitation facility. Her real plan was to take control of the ship and use T’pring and Spock’s romantic connection to get her husband back in a prisoner exchange.
