Kurn risks warp jump to escape corona

The Bird of Prey’s outer hull endures blistering heat as the ship plows through the star’s corona, its temperature soaring beyond design limits. Worf’s urgent warnings about the hull’s condition highlight the physical strain the ship is under, and the crew can feel the deck bucking violently beneath their feet. The hull’s integrity is critical to the ship’s survival, and its duress underscores the desperation of Kurn’s gamble. If the hull fails, the ship will be torn apart long before the warp jump can be executed.

Before: Under extreme stress, with hull temperatures rising rapidly and structural integrity compromised. The ship shudders violently as it approaches the photosphere.

After: Severely strained but intact, having barely withstood the heat of the corona. The hull will require repairs, but the ship has survived the maneuver—for now.
