Tarchannen Surface Shuttle

Geordi exits the shuttle's interior onto Tarchannen's harsh surface, joining the team at this landing site turned investigation hub. Non-human footprints scar the ground nearby, where Susanna detects presences and collapses in alien-induced panic. The shuttle frames their fragile outpost: hull gleams under alien skies, interior offers brief shelter, exterior exposes them to whipping winds and unseen threats. Tension builds as medical transport beams her away, leaving the team exposed amid the planet's eerie silence.
