USS Fleming Life Support Systems
Life support subsystem of the USS Fleming that catastrophically fails when the ship's unauthorized warp drive activation triggers a subspace explosion. The collapse cascades through the decks, exposing the crew to vacuum breaches and atmospheric loss. Geordi La Forge tracks the degradation from Enterprise's Engineering sensors, Data confirms systemic shutdown, and Picard registers the peril while Worf notes the dual-ship impact, escalating the situation into an emergency evacuation phase.
