Corridor (Troi-Barclay Duty Relief, USS Enterprise-D)

Lieutenant Barclay hurries down this straight corridor on the USS Enterprise-D, lost in agitation and oblivious to passing crewmembers. Counselor Troi intercepts him mid-stride, pressing on his evasive claims of seeing something in the transporter beam. The open layout denies privacy, footsteps echoing off smooth bulkheads as tension builds. She overrides his protests and relieves him of duty; he complies but storms off, leaving her worried amid the ship's steady engine hum.
