Decks 7 and 8 (USS Enterprise-D)

Crew fleeing the baryon sweep crowd these midship decks, bottlenecking evacuation routes to transporters. Picard spots the jam through Troi's report and orders rerouting via Cargo Bay Two, clearing paths amid shouts and pounding footsteps. Red alerts flash along packed corridors, air thick with urgency as personnel shove forward, every second counting against the sweep's approach. The decks pulse with the ship's desperate rhythm, a choke point threatening the whole exodus.
