- This culture is highly dependent on fossil fuels, Lieutenant Commander. Renewable energy is so minor as to be virtually absent.

- Aside from the obvious implications of discovering warp technology before they are ready, this culture has made itself known to the entire galaxy. They have put a target on their backs.

- Dialogue
- A binary star system. One of the stars is a red giant and, as it aged, has been spilling gas onto its companion white dwarf, causing its mass to increase past the Chandrasekhar limit.

- Dialogue
- Precisely. It might be nothing more than an accidental discovery, in which case this civilization may need some gentle guidance in the time to come.

- This is the worry. The Enterprise is the nearest Federation ship to Esothea. We want you to investigate and track down that warp signal.
