The either the emission or scattering (or both) color vector needs to be
lowered to smaller values. You can also add a density statement having a rgb
value lower than the default of 1, as well.

I'm not sure if you have a typo, or not, but transmit is of no use for the
emission, 'rgb' is all you need there.
