The spore drive is a mysterious object that has been discovered by the crew of the Discovery. It’s not yet clear what it does, but we know it will be used as a plot device in Season 4.
Discovery’s fourth season will be the first without the original showrunner, Star Trek: The Next Generation writer Michael Burnham.

Lieutenant Paul Stamets is not the only person aboard the Discovery who can operate the spore drive, according to the last episode of the third season of “Star Trek: Discovery.” The Discovery was stranded within The Viridian, an Emerald Chain ship. The crew needed to get out, but Stamets, the only person who could use the spore drive, was in Starfleet headquarters. Burnham purposefully put him there so that Discovery would be unable to execute a leap. However, they needed to leap in order to complete their escape plan.
Cleveland Booker, the Emerald Chain scientist who turned sides after seeing the Chain’s real brutality, proposed that Aurellio, the Emerald Chain scientist who switched sides after witnessing the Chain’s true cruelty, might run the spore drive. Booker’s unique Kwejian empathic skills enabled him to speak with living creatures, according to him, therefore he should be able to interact with the mycelial network as well. Book eventually figured out how to run the spore drive, but it took him longer than anticipated and resulted in a few stressful moments.
The spore drive may now be operated by two crew members on the Discovery. Is this going to cause some friction between Book and Stamets? During the “Discovery” panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday, October 9, Anthony Rapp, who portrays Stamets, and David Ajala, who plays Book, addressed that very issue.
They’re going to ‘Share the Keys.’
The Blerd Gurl herself, Karama Horne, the moderator of Saturday’s “Discovery” panel, questioned Ajala “who’s got the keys” to the spore drive in the fourth season. Rapp sprang from his seat and rushed towards Ajala, as if he were ready to start a brawl.
“I was hoping you weren’t going to ask that,” Ajala said, as the crowd chuckled. That’s a delicate situation.”
As they addressed the issue, Rapp proceeded to mock-threat Ajala.
Ajala added, “Look, I’m not wanting to be thrown off the ship.” “The keys are shared.”
Rapp eventually returned to his chair, but his expression remained mischievous and hostile.
“We share the keys,” Rapp said emphatically.
Cruz joked that Book is the spore drive’s “designated driver.” When Stamets is unable to leap, Book may take his place.
Stamets and a Book Season 4 is all about getting to know each other.
Ajala went on to add that in the fourth season, he and Rapp got to work together on a few sequences. Rapp said that those moments were most likely the first time Book and Stamets had ever communicated.
Despite the fact that Book remained aboard the ship for the whole of the third season, he didn’t have any interaction with the crew. As a result, he missed out on getting to know some of the other personalities, such as Stamets. Book will spend the fourth season getting to know the rest of the cast.
Rapp went on to say that he was thrilled to get to work with Ajala in a couple scenes since he’s been “a wonderful addition to our group.” He described working with Ajala as “a luxury,” and he expressed similar sentiments.
So, it seems that the spore drive will have some pretty intriguing advancements in season four!
