- Their communication methods are only partly aural and vocal. Each word brings with it an additional spike on our sensors akin to a burst of radiation. This may be their version of context, or intonation.

- Unintentionally, of course. I believe that they are incredibly sensitive to the warp bubbles that our vessels generate in order to move at faster-than-light speeds.

- Your own reports mention that the incidents significantly rise when there is a lot of inter-system travel happening. This is why the Ethereals are reacting at those times.

- You got all of that from “fade” and “cease?”

- Dialogue
- And logic. And study of the situation over the last few days. “Fade” almost certainly refers to the creature’s physical response to the burst of Dilithium. “Cease” – they want us to stop.

- Exactly. I see you’re aware of our predicament. Better shields, more personnel, attempts to communicate… Nothing works. I’ve asked for aid from the Vulcan High Command.

- Have you? The power output of this device will certainly enable you to check in on your mother on Earth, Admiral, but we are attempting to communicate with an extra-dimensional being.

- We will need to amplify the transmitter to extreme levels, directly into this source of high-energy background radiation. I assume this is where the most recent incident took place?

- Commendable work. Not many would be able to fend off a Breen Warship. It is a shame that they are not more trusting, though I was able to learn a lot about their language.

- Negotiating, no. Simply enquiring about the intricacies of grammar within the Breen dialect of Th’renaar. They insisted that it was a ruse and that they would be attacked…

- Evidently. Logically, their reaction was sound. Unfortunate, but sound. Now… We are due in the Sh’Pord system. Let us depart.
