Shaft of Light Through Jagged Cleft
A piercing beam of light cuts through the suffocating darkness of the cave, emerging from a jagged cleft in the rock wall. Dirgo spots it first and rushes forward in desperation. Wesley scans the area with his tricorder and confirms it signals water nearby. Picard observes quietly, his weakened gaze fixed on the glow. The light draws the group, offering visual proof of an exit or resource amid their peril.
