There's a life-form in here.
Gray There hasn't been life here in years.
Well there is now.

Scenes with Gray
4 scenes Gray I was infected by a Phantom during an experiment. Normally no one could have survived.
Gray How did you?
Dr. Sid created a membrane around the infection, keeping me alive. So the first spirit wave was me. The second was a fish.
Gray A fish?
The third was a deer I found in a wildlife preserve outside of Moscow. The fourth was a bird. Ever try to track a sparrow from outer space? It's no fun. What am I saying; you probably would love that.
Gray You're right, I probably would.
And then there was that plant I collected from Times Square.
Gray I thought that was number six.
What?
Gray You skipped one.
[Quietly]
The fifth was a little girl, dying in a hospital emergency room. I retrieved the sample in time, but she, uh… I told her everything had a spirit. Dogs, cats, trees, little girls, even the Earth. I told her that she wasn't dying, just returning to the Earth's spirit. To Gaia. She, uh, told me that she was ready to die. She said I didn't have to make up stories to make her feel better. [Pause] Only seven years old and ready to die.
Gray Is the General suggesting that Dr. Ross is a spy?
The General is wondering why he's explaining himself to a Captain.
Her vital signs are dropping. Aki is slipping away from us. She needs a sympathetic spirit to help hold her in this world, and I can think of no spirit better suited for that task than yours, Captain.
Gray I don't understand.
You don't have to understand. You just be with her now. You keep her with us.
