spectral
The word has two very different meanings depending on the context. When talking about ghosts, it is often used in storytelling or gothic literature to create a spooky mood. When used in science, it refers to light and physics. In this case, it is a technical term and is not related to spirits or ghosts at all.

Zorg
Vega, why is this human movie's ghost so spectral? Is he just lagging?
Lt. Vega
Cut it out. He's a phantom, not a bad connection.
💡
Zorg is confusing the 'spectral' appearance of a ghost in a movie with technical latency ('lagging'), while Lt. Vega uses the phrasal verb 'cut it out' to tell him to stop being annoying.
