Is that a [sic]? I figure she means "site" in the sense of "location", which would match the Klingon, as well.

She spoke three lines in Klingon, which were followed by English translations (spoken by someone else). This is what I heard. Anyone who hears differently, feel free to chime in, though I consider her diction to be very clear.

I have come upon a very strange site [sic] which has left me perplexed.

There are multiple items in the Big Box.

They work in unison to distract the user by means of their auditory senses.

She slightly flubbed the second last word, but I *believe* she was saying the suffix {-taH}. Or it's possible she stumbled on {-ghach} and said it twice.

Also, the "Big Box" is, in fact, actually a stationary room-sized object on the show, so whoever translated it as {pa'Hom} (and used {Daq} rather than {Doch} to talk about its discovery) knows what they're doing:
