Object
Picard Rescue Away Team Equipment
Standard Starfleet away mission gear assembled by Worf on Riker's order in the Observation Lounge. Includes hand phasers flagged by Beverly Crusher for ineffectiveness against phased Devidians. Riker plans to lead the equipped team to the surface despite Worf's push to destroy the habitat first and Troi's silent agreement. Preparation halts when Riker shifts to photon torpedoes, leaving the gear unused but highlighting command tensions.
