Picard Disguised in Main Engineering

The Engine Core is the primary target of the terrorists’ operation, housing the trilithium resin they seek to steal. Pomet and Satler work on its upper levels, adjusting plasma pressure and preparing the transport assembly, while Neil disables containment overrides to facilitate the extraction. The core hums to life as the resin is transferred, its reactivation a visual cue of the operation’s progress. Kelsey’s urgency stems from the core’s vulnerability to the baryon sweep, which threatens to destroy the compartment—and the resin—within 30 minutes. Picard’s alarm at the mention of trilithium is tied to the core’s role as the source of the volatile substance.

Before: Powered down, with trilithium resin stored in the reserve system.

After: Partially reactivated, with resin being siphoned into the transport assembly.
