Glowing Energy Segments from the Translucent Chamber

Silver-gray aliens ingest the segments through forehead blowholes in a feeding circle. Troi senses human life essence and terror imprints within them. Riker, Troi, Geordi, Worf, and Beverly watch horrified as the aliens consume the stolen energy before two more aliens arrive with additional segments in a canister.
