Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound. When the noise triggers terrifying hallucinations, she enlists an unlikely assistant to help her track down the source.

Can anyone explain why a space station that seems to break down when you sneeze at it wrong, or smash one of its power conduits, requires photon torpedoes to shut it down?
First Uhura said destroy it, then she said release the deuterium, then she gave the order to fire photon torpedoes like that’s even a thing she has the authority do. Make up your minds, writers.
When I watched it, it looked like Uhura was so eager to fix the situation that she yelled to fire the torpedos, but I noticed right after she said if that Pike gave a nod to the crewman to approve the order. Uhura was just a little excited.
One of my favourite things about the Pike-light episodes we’ve been getting is Mount’s ability to still do all the acting he needs to do just with these little background reactions. Last week was a great example, this scene was another one. Such a charismatic actor.

Yeah I agree the Pike guy was hilarious in the Spock marriage episode just his facial expressions…weird though how all their private quarters on this original Enterprise is like 10 times the sizes we ever saw before on any ships…
TOS and DS9 had the smallest quarters other than Enterprise.
The officers quarters on TNG were quite large but single rooms.
Worf, when Alexander was with him, and otherfamilies with children had multi room apartments that were quite big.
The sheer volume of internal space available on the Ent-D is so gigantically enormous that every single one of the 1000 crew could have 10-room apartments and still have room to spare

I thought she said to release the deuterium from the nacelles (of the Enterprise), but to destroy the mining station (as @cybervseas@lemmy.world points out, Pike confirmed the latter order).
Hydrogen burning would be bad too right, (the frieball seems large, how much oxygen was on the station?).but burning the D in the explosion is bad too right
They sneezed at it wrong… and the shutdown measures malfunctioned.
And they couldn’t very well just let the deuterium-creatures continue being butchered while they sorted it out.
