Crashed Shuttle Hatch
Twisted metal hatch blown open by the shuttle's crash on the fog-shrouded alien moon. Riker clutches his broken arm as he, Data, and Troi scramble through the jagged frame, emerging injured into electromagnetic interference and eerie horizon lights. Picard, Worf, Ro, Riker, and Data interact with it as the sole exit point from wreckage, exposing the crew to an unseen intelligence that jams their comms and tricorders.
