Geordi's Construction Module
Geordi La Forge proposes this remotely operated construction module on the Enterprise bridge to attach thrusters to the derelict radioactive waste vessel trapped near Gamelan Four. The device would enable safe disposal by pushing the vessel into the Gamelan sun from a distance, bypassing extreme radiation risks from direct towing. Riker rejects it, favoring speed with deflector push amid the dual crisis of Picard's missing shuttle.
