Masaka’s hellfire traps Geordi and Worf

The towering image of Masaka fills the entire back panel of Engineering, dominating the space and transforming it into a nightmarish hellscape. This manifestation is a psychological assault, designed to instill fear and demonstrate the depth of her influence over the ship's systems. The image is accompanied by creeping vines along the walls and a roaring wall of flames, trapping Geordi and Worf and forcing them to flee via emergency transport. The image symbolizes Masaka's dominance and the irreversible corruption spreading through the Enterprise-D.

Before: Not present; Engineering is in a state of emergency lighting but otherwise intact.

After: Manifests as a towering, hellish image filling the back panel, accompanied by vines and flames. The hellscape persists after Geordi and Worf escape.
