Gray Tal : You found them.
Adira : Yeah. Not a moment too soon looks like.
[Hugh and Saru are shocked to see Gray]
Dr. Hugh Culber : Gray?
Gray Tal : You... Y-you see me?
Cmdr. Saru : The Holo. It recognizes you.
Dr. Hugh Culber : Hi!
[Hugh hugs Gray to prove that he can actually see him]
Gray Tal : I- I forgotten. Hi!
Dr. Hugh Culber : You do have kind eyes.
Adira : Told you.

Adira : How could Su'Kal have caused the Burn? How's that even possible?
Dr. Hugh Culber : I can't prove it without a scan, but I suspect he's a polyploid. That's when normal chromosomal separation is disrupted in utero. It can cause an individual's genes to be affected by their environment, and this environment has massive concentrations of dilithium. Not to mention whatever is outside.
Adira : You think Su'Kal's genetically connected to dilithium?
Dr. Hugh Culber : I think his genes have mutated to allow his body to interact with dilithium in unique ways, yes.
Adira : Well dilithium has a subspace component. Uh, does that-does that mean he has a genetic connection to subspace too?
Dr. Hugh Culber : That would explain a lot. Did anything unusual happen aboard before you beamed down here.
Adira : Yeah, our-our warp core reacted to something, a subspace radiation surge. Why?
Dr. Hugh Culber : Su'Kal got upset. He screamed and the entire ground shook.
Adira : Sound is a mechanical wave. It's energy travels through a medium.
Dr. Hugh Culber : Like subspace?
Adira : His scream must have travelled at the same resonant frequency of dilithium subspace components. That's what hit our warp core.
Dr. Hugh Culber : So whatever frightened him 125 years ago must've been infinitely worse than what happened to him today. That's what caused the Burn.
Adira : Can we stop the Burn from happening again?
Dr. Hugh Culber : If we can get him away from all of this dilithium, I think so.
